Re: [Vserver] How to discover the "real" IP Address?
All IP adresses you see are real IP adresses of the host. Choose any. That's not my case, because the host systems have just *one* NIC, on which *all* IP addresses are bound. And as I know the hostnames of the host systems, and the corresponding IP, I need to discover on *which* of the two host systems my VServer resides. ___ Vserver mailing list Vserver@list.linux-vserver.org http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver

Look into ARP tables and MAC adresses for more certainity. Well, looking at ARP tables I can't get anything about the "real" IPs of the hosts.

Re: [Vserver] How to discover the "real" IP Address?
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Flavio, how can I check and discover the "real" hosts IP Address and hostname? What do you mean by "real"? There should not be any direct way to discover the host (the main linux distro, which has access to all the vservers and can administer them) from inside a guest (one of the vservers); if you want to know the guest IP, use "ip addr show" (ifconfig will not work as expected, it's deprecated anyway). You can get the system hostname using "hostname"; the network hostname (which is the same as far as I know) can also be displayed using "uname -n". If you are interested in the hostname associated with that IP (which is what's important to network services), use "host " if you have the bind DNS tools installed (which should be the case in most distributions).
