If it's on the same subnet as your laptop, you may be able to find it via the laptop's ARP cache -- this is the mechanism the kernel uses to map controller MAC addresses to IP addresses. Alternatively, if it's gotten a DHCP assignment from your home router, you can probably go in to the router's set-up interface, and find the table of DHCP assignments it has handed out, and see if there's one you don't recognize. If all that fails, if it's a small address space (like 192.168.1.*), it s a simple matter to just ping every address in the space and see if there's a live one you didn't know about. If the machine doesn't answer ping requests, a more complicated way would be to run a port-scanner from the laptop, and see what it finds. -- A. -- Andrew Reid / rei...@bellatlantic.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
