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.
The ifconfig command will always be with us, it's a unix standard. IIRC on suse, ifconfig is just a wrapper around ip anyway. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
