now we are going in circles. not every device responds to ping - its optional in linux and people often turn it off because of various DOS attacks based on icmp. also some OSes don't seem to respond to broadcast ping, even though they respond to ping to their own address, windows being an example. So, all techniques in this thread seem to have validity, but not all of them will work in all circumstances. -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
