If it's on the same network, and using TCP/IP, then you can find out the IP address by running "arp -a" or a service called "arpwatch" which wil record in the system log (/var/log/messages) each time it sees a new MAC address on the network. To translate the IP to a hostname, you need working reverse DNS, or to ask the nearby computer users to check their IP address for you :o) DNS is easy: type "host <ipaddress>" or "dig <ipaddress> ptr" > RT _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
