Re: [gentoo-user] [OT] Finding other machines on the network

[John Jolet <john@jolet.net>]

yeah, if it's got a firewall disallowing icmp responses.  then you can do nmap 
-P0 to find it.  ping would never find it.  It's gotta have SOME port open.  
Also, nmap can do os fingerprinting and probably show you which one is the 
solaris or sunos machine...
