Hello list I hope I am not OT with this question : I have been given an Epson stylus Color 1520 printer, which is very interesting since it can accept larger sizes of paper. It works nicely on a parallel connection, but it is provided vith an Ethernet connection add on card C823623 but I do not have the manual for this card and I do not know its default address and do not know how to change it. There is just a Mac address on the card. Is it possible to make this card work ? I asked on an Epson technical list but they said they did not know and they would be interested to know if anyone found a sulution on a linux list. Thanks in advance -- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 10.2
Hi
Can one not open a root shell and give:
arp -s IP MAC
for example:
arp -s 172.16.13.20 00:D0:c8:00:6f:9d
- would this set the IP of the interface and hence let you access it?
No. It replaces an ARP entry in the ARP cache. It has ZERO influence on the network device on the other end of the Ethernet cable. Think about it -- if it did what you said, then I could just plug my machine into YOUR network, and change all the IP addresses on YOUR machines, without even having to login to your machines as ANY user, let alone get your root account
