I used sed to remove the leading and trailing '(' ')' from around the hostname/ip.
They do need to be removed, right?

Since you're using awk anyways why not eliminate piping through sed:
DISPLAY=`who -m | awk '{ print $6":0.0" }'

All you need to do to deal with multiple NICs is specify which interface
you want to poll. Awk can also combine the actions of both grep and cut
in the example into a single process:
echo `ifconfig xl0 | awk '/broadcast/ { print $2":0.0" }'`

It won't work if you multiple NICs. It may just work for what you need just the same. echo `ifconfig | grep broadcast | cut -d" " -f2`":0.0" This takes the output of ifconfig and parses it just a wee bit with grep and cut.

Nope. That give the IP of the server to the outside world;
What who gives me is the name of the machine, but that seems to work;
CHANTELLE:0.0
I guess becuase it looks it up in /etc/hosts

If I understand correctly and you want to identify the IP address the Windows box is using while you are at that computer try entering either of the commands from at a DOS prompt: arp -a | find "Interface" or ipfconfig | find "IP" Cheers, Viktor To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message

Nope, Your display variable must be set to the IP or hostname of the X Server, which in this case is the Windows machine.

I have a unix window on my winbox, but what I want is the IP address in unix when the window comes up, so I could simply set the variable in .profile with a DISPLAY=$ipaddress:0.0 export DISPLAY I know xwin32 is capable of ssh, but I do not believe I am running it. If it is necessary to run ssh to do it, then it might prove difficult, because whenever I've run ssh it really slows things down and I think that would be poor performance when I need graphics. No?
