Hi All,I have a Windows program http://sourceforge.net/projects/autoscan/ that will find all the MAC address on a Ethernet. Last time I used it, it found stuff on 192.168.1.0/24 and 192.168.88.0/24. Helped me fix everything so they were on the same network. There is a Linux tarball for autoscan, but I can not find an RPM for it. And, the tarball has no spec file in it. I could really use this functionality on Linux. As far as I can tell, nmap will only locate stuff on the current network, not everything on the Ethernet. Any idea how to do this with nmap or similar? I would really like to use nmap, if I could. I have tried "overlook fing", but it only finds stuff on the current network. Many thanks, -T
fing can find MAC addresses on a different network if you run it on a system that connects to multiple nets. I have it installed on one of my SL5.x systems that has connections to our main net as well as all 5 of our firewalled subnets (192.168.x.x) By default, it just checks the net on what it thinks is your primary nic, but you can tell it to check any other net you have configured on that box. Use (for example) 'fing -n 192.168.1.0/24' Incredibly useful tool! - Larry -- P. Larry Nelson (217-244-9855) | Systems/Network Administrator 461 Loomis Lab | High Energy Physics Group 1110 W.
