setting up a system with no keyboard
The question is: can I gain access without one? The system with no keyboard is 4.8, the rub is it is configured with an IP address not on the LAN. I have physical access to the system. I tried: route add 204.156.12.157 -interface ep0 and sorta got what I wanted. netstat -rn -f inet Routing tables Internet: DestinationGatewayFlagsRefs Use Netif Expire default192.168.0.1UGSc 264ep0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 172lo0 192.168.0 link#6 UC 10ep0 192.168.0.100:20:ea:1f:40:b4 UHLW 270ep0858 204.156.12.157 00:00:86:5a:85:8e UHLS08ep0 I can tell from the mac adrs that is the correct system. I also have a cross-over cable. Can I get there from here? _ Douglas Denault http://www.safeport.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice: 301-469-8766 Fax: 301-469-0601 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
