-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Log in directly to the ipcop box and type "ip addr" to see what actual IP it is.
If you have a linux box with nmap installed, I find the following handy for "finding" lost boxen: nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/16 This will search 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.254 You should set your own netmask to /16 as well (eg. ip addr add 192.168.1.200/16) I have been getting too spoiled with auto-detecting NICs that I no longer have any crossover cables. That and I have an abundance of switches kicking around. Mitchell Brown wrote: > Okay just to clarify - I've yet to get to the web interface.
