Hmm this will not answer your question, which to my little knowledge is an "unsolvable issue" without making the IP static or creating an in-between host to which the desktop comunicates his local IP address(...a big workaround). nmap -sP 192.168.1.1/24 assuming your router IP is 192.168.1.1(not a standard), this command will allow you to check all the hosts live from your linux terminal. It takes 12 seconds on my machine. You can get it faster by changing the 24 number. Ask me if you want to know how and if it is viable in your case

His router's dhcp does not keep always the same IPs, and he cannot set the "DHCP reservation" since he isn't allowed to

nmap -sP 192.168.1.255/24*

also if you're doing this, just use the hostname

I give you a long winded solution. On your server, that you want to SSH into, run an hourly script to write its IP address to AWS DynamoDB or Google Sheet, etc. in your machine that you use to SSH, run an hourly script to read the info from AWS DynamoDB or Google Sheet, and update your /etc/hosts
