Very closed. but better yet is: Knowing MAC address but looking for IP tcpdump -e -i eth0 |grep -i "00:09:45:52:04:da" Since I know the MAC address, the above command will capture the IP address of the device when plugged into the server. Knowing IP address but looking for MAC ping IP arp -e -- #Joseph -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
