In response to the query "How do I find my ethernet address without re-booting", look in your /etc/ethers (or /etc/ethers.byaddr in a yp case) files. These list all of the ethernet addresses on your network. If it isn't there, it will be on your file server, so rcp it across (rcp host:/etc/ethers .) to have a look at it. Hope this helps. Eoin. PS On Suns, there is a set of C functions that can be found in section 3C, called 'ethers' which allow programs to get ethernet addresses. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | FROM : Eoin Woods Computer Science Department, Brunel University, | | Uxbridge, Middlesex UB8 3PH | | JANET : cs86eew@cc.brunel.ac.uk | | UUCP : ...ukc!cc.brunel.ac.uk!cs86eew | | ARPA : cs86eew%cc.brunel.ac.uk@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk |
