ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method and apparatus for identifying a network device corresponding to an Internet protocol address. The method comprises the steps of detecting network devices over a network using a detection message, extracting media access control addresses from Internet protocol addresses of network devices which respond to the detection message, and detecting and displaying names of network devices corresponding to the extracted media access control addresses from a database which stores device identification information specifying names of network devices and media access control addresses corresponding to the respective names.
