Ok, so now I have to know the MAC address of the new device. Will that automatically given v6 address stay fixed, so that I can map names to addresses in my /etc/hosts file?
How do you find the link local address, if you don't use one of the methods I described? How do you know an IPv4 address, if you didn't configure it? You try different tests to see what's out there. If you know an IPv4 address, do you automatically know the host name? No you don't. You try something like the host command or check your DNS/DHCP server. Geez Carlos, what in the hell is wrong with you today??? Why do you keep trying to create problems where there are none??? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
