Kevin Kinsey I was not familiar with ifconfig and am surprised at such a similar name to winipcfg for Win98. try ipconfig. IIRC it works even on w98 (no box in sight to test), and i'm positive that's the name on NT4, NT5, and XP. oh, and you're pointed at ifconfig(8) by the SEE ALSO section of arp(8). have you read it? It seems arp -a tells me one IP while ipconfig tells me another. Is that because I'm using DHCP, or is arp -a maybe reporting a DNS value, not my currently-assigned IP? arp -a doesn't display your ip at all.

Is that because I'm using DHCP, or is arp -a maybe reporting a DNS value, not my currently-assigned IP? PS - Yack! .biz?! Depends on your network configuration, I guess. It only occurred to me after I had posted that you might be interested in what IP you were presenting to the world, and not just what addy was assigned to the local interface. However, ifconfig, which Windows has M-ulated (immolated?) with winipcfg and the even more sinister ipconfig, will tell you lots about all the system interfaces when used with the -a switch, ie: #ifconfig -a dc0: flags=8843UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 inet 192.168.2.103 netmask 0xff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 inet6 fe80::2a0:ccff:fe25:9347%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 ether 00:a0:cc:25:93:47 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX full-duplex) status: active lp0: flags=8810POINTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST mtu 16384 inet6 ::1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff00 ppp0: flags=8010POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST mtu 1500 sl0: flags=c010POINTOPOINT,LINK2,MULTICAST mtu 552 faith0: flags=8002BROADCAST,MULTICAST mtu 1500 As you see from this example, this host is on a LAN at 192.168.2.103... I assume, if you're using dialup, that the IP addy would appear in the ppp0: section arp -a is going to give you information about more machines than just your own, quite possibly. I'd use this instead: #arp -n your.hostname.tld your.hostname.tld (11.22.33.44) -- no entry HTH, Kevin Kinsey To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
