You could also try using PHLAK, www.phlak.org.

Linux live cd which has all the tools you need.

192.168.0.0/16(192.168.*.*) is definitly an internal, non-internet
routable net block, however it could potentially belong to your ISP if
they are not particularly well configured.  As for element manager,
presumably its some network management interface for Marconi devices,
however I have no come across it personally.

Nessus is one of the most fully featured free tools for assessing your
network, coupled with metasploit, www.nessus.org, www.metasploit.org.

Hello all, I recently ran Angry IP Scanner to see what was on my network, so I could get the IP of a wireless access 
point I use to tinker with it. However, I found a strange thing residing at 192.168.15.2, which ran something by 
Marconi called Element Manager. My network starts at 192.168.0.x, so I was wondering if this is still in the realm 
of a private network (so far as IP assignment) and if anyone had any info on what exactly this is.

Also, I would appreciate it if some could direct me to some decent network administration tools I can use to secure 
and find vulnerabilities with my network. I am still at a 'new' level with network security and administration 
(which I've been interested in for a long time, but I've just been overwhelmed by all the information out there) and 
enjoy learning whatever I can. Thanks.
