C:\Steve>type \proc\net\route The system cannot find the path specified. Python, but not platform dependent :-) It would be nice to provide a shim module to provide stuff like this in a way that any platofrm could use. But when you look at the trouble it took to find a reasonable way for Ka Ping's guid function to locate an Ethernet address you'll agree that it would be a lot of work. So probably reading /proc/net/route is a good bet for a limited range of platforms. OpenBSD is another place you won't find /proc/net/route. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://holdenweb.blogspot.com Recent Ramblings http://del.icio.us/steve.holden -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
