Will definitely add this command to my book. It is so easy and I can't believe it. It worked like a charm. Is there a way to check what IP the device has on the network? I know the device MAC address and when I plug it IN, it obtains one of the IP via DHCP. With arp -a IP arp -e I can only check the MAC address. Is there a way to other way around. I know ethereal will capture the IP address, but I was wandering if there is any command line tool. -- #Joseph -- [email protected] mailing list
