scan for a MAC address? ping all the addresses in the range and then /usr/sbin/arp -n |grep -i that_mac_addr The scanning part could be done using something like: nmap -sP 192.168.1-5.* Another simple trick (assuming a mostly windows network) is to simply ping to the broadcast address. Linux-es and macs tend to respond to those pings and so are most devices. Windows tend to ignore those pings. -- Tzafrir Cohen | New signature for new address and | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | new homepage | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849755 | Space reserved for other protocols | friend _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
