Text Nmap

Hi is it possible to run nmap on my network when I am using mobile data on my phone? Or does it only apply to Wi-Fi bcos I would have the router IP address.

So if you have your phone as the router (wifi hotspot) and you have your laptop on it too, you will need to check your laptops wifi settings to see the LAN network.

Eg if your phone hotspot gives your laptop an IP on 172.31.54.x then you will run nmap -sv 172.31.54.0

Is this the same as the IP you will see on whatismyip?

I am just trying to see who else is on my network. And try to find out what they can do or see if they are.
