That will do a ping test. Better is if you know there's a specific open TCP port on the device. For example if port 80 is open, then you can do "nmap -sT -p 80 192.168.0.0/24" and look for ones that are listed as open. It's not clear from your email if the address is one that is in your current subnet, so you may need to do "ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.2/24" first (substitute your interface name if not eth0). You can use wider subnets to scan faster. If you know it ends in .10 then you could use a bash script to find it even quicker. Broadcast pings don't work so well as only some devices respond to those. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
