Determining Outbound IP's connected to by device on network

[davewolfs]

I am experiencing difficulty with a site and am trying to troubleshoot it. The address being connected to is coming from a device on my network (Roku).

Is there anyway to see what IP address a client is currently connected to from the router?

Thanks!

I think what you want can be found under "System Log, Connections" (click the Refresh button). There's also a setting on the "Tools, Other Settings" tab that controls whether the target IP's are resolved to names.

If you are using the newest generation of Roku (Roku 3) it uses WiFi to connect the remote to the set top box. Some people see this on their network as a WiFi AP. This is needed so it can stream audio to the headphone jack on the remote.

That did the trick. Is there anything in the console I can do to see the IP's fire up in real time?

I don't know of anything built-in that would do that, but I'm not an expert -- so maybe someone else will chime in if there is.

The connection list is also in "/proc/net/ip_conntrack", so you might be able to write a script that would copy that file every few seconds, and compare the current version to the previous copy -- and spit out any differences as they are found. Or if you are looking for something in a specific IP range to pop up, perhaps something as simple as just a loop with a "find" for that IP (or partial IP) every few seconds.
