I was setting up to Ghost over a network, and the software was coming
up with an address is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx. I was expecting this to be
the address assigned by the dhcp server, but was confused by the
format. Turns out the packet driver/Ghost was not seeing the dhcp
server and I guess it was giving the mac address instead. Finally got
it to work by using a fixed IP address, and now it gives both
addresses.

With the machines on-line it would probably require non-trivial 
programming work. With the machines offline it is not possible.

The machine in question is the only one that knows both numbers, unless

query the server for anything other than the IP address of the querying 
machine, other than cutting and pasting from the server's logs.

You are mistaken.
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn is an IP (version 4) address.
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx is an Ethernet address.

They have no relationship except that in a working system they are 
(usually) paired together.

The IP address refers to the address of the machine through a particular 
network port.

The Ethernet address refers to a particular network card.

In fact, IIRC, Linux can bond multiple network cards onto the same IP 
address. It is rare though.

Here is a bash script to convert IP addresses to Ethernet addresses, so 
long as the machine in question is accessible on the network at the 
time the script is run.

The reverse conversion is always problematic - and is usually the one

[newbie] IP address and ProFTPd

2003-04-02 Thread Kasper Thunø
Hey list.

My problem is this:
When I try to start the ProFTPd i get this error: Fatal: unable to determine
IP address of hostname. I know how to fix this, by putting the hostname/IP
in /etc/hosts, for example. It works fine when I do that, but the daemon in
question is running on a laptop with an IP-adress that changes ever so
often.
So...

My question is this:
Is there a way to work around this without having to change the static entry
in /etc/hosts every time i get a new IP?

TIA!

Applying /24 to 192.168.0.1 we get 192.168.0.1/24.  This refers to host

No, that's right. a mask of /24 is 24 consecutive ones, with the last eight 
as zeros which don't mask the final octet in the IP address. The

Re: [newbie] IP address

2002-08-25 Thread Miark

Frank,

I think this is CIDR notation for subnet masks.

A subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 is really the 10-base notation of a
binary masking system: .... (Notice 
 equals 255, and  equals 0.) The 1s indicate
which part of the number is the network, and the 0s represent the
machine number. 

The mask is always in two distinct pieces, so ..
.1100 is possible, but never something intermixed like
.11001100.10101000. So if you know the last 6 bits are the all
0s (for machine address), you also know then remaining 26 bits are all
1s and represent the network address.

CIDR notation takes advantage of this numbering trick to represent the
whole submask by only counting how many bits represent machine numbers. 
So 192.168.0.1/8 is 192.168.0.1/...
or 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0.

Yep, pppoe.  pretty sucky, though I have had good uptime.  Actually, I just
saw how to do it.  I created a perl script and put it at /etc/ppp/ip-up and
that works.  Thanks for the reply

I'm confused. You have adsl, then why are you using ppp? Do you have some
kind of PPP over ethernet setup? Also, adsl is pretty much 24/7, so even
if you have dynamic IP, it'll be the same until something drops the
connection.

[newbie] ip address

2000-08-25 Thread TiGereYe

hello,
i have a couple of questions if anybody could help me out.
Assuming that a linux machine is hooked up to a network and it obtains an ip
address from a dhcp server where does linux store that ip address that it
obtained?  My second question is assuming i want to have linux obtain a
specific ip address from a dhcp server without setting it up as a static ip
how would i go about doing that?.
thanks

Re: [newbie] ip address

2000-08-25 Thread Greg Stewart

you can check your current IP address by running  /sbin/ifconfig.   This
will display the local IP address, network IP address, broadcast and adapter
status.

You can also (if you're running pump, type   pump -i interface --status,
although I'm not sure if pump monitor modems--I haven't tried it.

dhcpd may have a similar status argument, but I haven't switched yet, so I
can't bring up the man page... search the HOW-TOs  to see what you'd type
for dhcpd.

Re-leasing a specific dynamic address is not a client-side option. If your
ISP configures "reserved, dynamically assigned" IPs, which means they
configure their DHCP server to give you the same address every time, then
you can retain that address, but chances are, at some point, you'll get a
new address if your ISP doesn't offer this..

To telnet into your linux box, you need to have the telnet-server up and
running. If you do not have telnet-server installed, mount your linux cdrom
and it should be in the rpms directory... to check your ethernet IP, and PPP
IP, just do use the command ifconfig




Re: [newbie] ip address...

1999-12-13 Thread BryanMoorehead



Type

ifconfig eth0
or
ifconfig eth1

at the command line.

Look immediately after where it says

inet addr:

You should be able to telnet to that ip address if everything else in set up
correctly

ex. inet addr:192.168.1.1

Hope this helps,
Bryan

Did you define one when you set it up? Also, how is your
Win98 laptop connected to the Linux box? Finally, is the
telnet server installed?

Joeyou'd be the one who assigned the IP address to your
