I sent you to the wrong command. host 192.168.1.6 or nslookup 192.168.1.6 What we are looking foe is something like: [akonstam@cyrus ~]$ host 131.194.71.168 168.71.194.131.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer cs.trinity.edu. 168.71.194.131.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer sol.cs.trinity.edu. or [akonstam@cyrus ~]$ nslookup 131.194.71.168 Server: 192.168.1.254 Address: 192.168.1.254#53 Non-authoritative answer: 168.71.194.131.in-addr.arpa name = cs.trinity.edu. 168.71.194.131.in-addr.arpa name = sol.cs.trinity.edu. which would tell us the name of the machine using that ip address. -- ======================================================================= Shannon's Observation: Nothing is so frustrating as a bad situation that is beginning to improve. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
