I thought I had my internal static IPs all sorted, but I discovered a
conflict last night so I missed something that I had assigned an IP
address to. Probably the Wii, but still I'd rather know how to see "at
this end" if possible, rather than checking everything.

I can view devices that have been assigned IPs over DHCP via the router.
But is there any program (Windows) where I can view _all_ devices that
are connected to my home network, and their IPs?

nmap will scan a subnet and tell you about everything on it.

http://nmap.org/dist/nmap-5.51-setup.exe

arp -a from a command line on Windows will show you everything Windows has
'heard' talking on the network, so it may or may not be inclusive.

If you're mixing DHCP and manual Ip addresses you really need to be
assigning the statics from a range outside the DHCP scope if you're not
doing that already, or using the DHCP server to always assign the same
address to a specific MAC and use DHCP on the clients.

Thanks to all. Using this and the one Jaimie linked to (Jaimie's is a
little more user-friendly, but this one a little more detailed) I
managed to track down the missing device... it was my print server!

Nice to have these apps for future uses.

I'd use nmap for that.
