As a network engineer, here's how I'd approach this problem. Maybe it's
helpful to you.
1. Run the command "arp -a" from the pc. This will give me a list of mac
addrs to ip addrs mappings for all the network interfaces that are on
the subnet from which I'm running the command.
e.g.

For general knowledge purposes, 192.168.0.0 is the subnet address and
192.168.0.255 is the broadcast address for that subnet. The subnet address
is used in routing tables and the broadcast address would be used by a
computer configured for DHCP to send out a DHCP request to find a DHCP
server.

Is the net boot server only available during the PLUG Sunday Clinic? I have
a Toshiba Netbook with a corrupted Debian install that I've been unable to
recover and the bios on supports net boot and not usb.

I'm going to purchase my first Netbook this week. What's your fav
Linux Netbook specific OS and why?
I plan to check out Jolicloud, gOS, OpenGeeeU, CrunchEee, and maybe
