Hello,

What program shows info for MAC addresses? For example, I see a mac address connected to a wireless device, but I want to find out what IP address it has and possibly the machine name.

Thank you,

arp -a will dump out the arp cache, which should contain the information if your machine has been in contact with that one. I'm not aware of a program to manually send an arp query. You should also be able to see it in the wireless device's admin interface But if you want to monitor your network and get all the information from your own machine, I recommend ntopd. It will give you a complete view of your network in a nice web interface Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

James, Depending on your card, you can try # iwlist [interface ie. ath0, wifi0, wlan0] scan. That doesn't give the IP of each, but it dumps some good info for everything in range.
