It has a static IP somewhere in the 192.168.0.* range, which my home network also is in. My question is, how can I find out the IP address of the machine? I've forgotten what it is and it's also headless with no keyboard. Is there a utilitiy in portage that will try all of the ip addresses in a range and let me know if something it at the other end, ie something like automatically pinging all of the addresses in a range and reporting what addresses responded? Any thoughts greatly appreciated, Andrew -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
