Re: *nix commands on windows

Same. When stuck on windows for whatever reason and a linux VM isn't an option (or when I have to run windows as core) I use cygwin. It's not perfect, and isn't a replacement, but many of the tools are available through cygwin so that I'm not completely lost trying to get a cmd window to pipe thi

Cygwin won't give you ifconfig or ip tools (didn't years back at least), it'll still be "ipconfig /all" Look at the subnet mask there, should be 255.255.255.0. If they're all on the same switch/router, than they're in the same subnet. Can they ping each other's addresses? layer 3 is good Te

as0t1 means you're probably running openvpn or something like it. As for the subnet mask on the IP in question, that's whatever you set it to. But it needs to be consistent on your network. On Wed, Mar 14, 2012 at 3:58 PM, Michael Havens wrote: > correction: sometimes I can browse into the ubu
