Congratulations!!! It's easy, isn't it? No. Kenneth on this list learned me about the command ip a which is not mentioned in O'Reilly's Nutshell or the SuSE manual. Ch 21, Basic Networking in the Reference documentation should include info about how to find unknown IP addresses of computers in a LAN. well, Kenneth's command works but I think, the more usual command for this is: /sbin/ifconfig
This command is being replaced by the ip command which is why I suggested it instead. No sense teaching about commands that are not going to be with us much longer.
agreed. But, rarely, I see sense in telling (not teaching!) beginners commands that they will find in the books and can read up. Later on, a "man ip" or shorter "ip --help" will be easy to understand for them. regards E -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
