Your laptop doesn't phone home unless you configure it to - if it had windows maybe call Microsoft, I've heard their computers contact M$ on a regular basis. If you before hand had installed some tool that calls home then it would be possible to track it by the ip and possibly routing information it uses when it calls. But that's too late now.

Thanks for any help or advice you can offer. It would be difficult. But, do you know the MAC address of the NIC card? That might help if they get on the net with it. jerry Jonathan Nichols ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
