i cant find my wired antana!

o2cool_axxess · 01-27-2005, 03:25 PM

i have a wireless antana device that i would like to use with my linux box to connect to my wireless router the next floor down. i cannot remember the ip address for it and it is a static ip address i believe it starts with 17x.x.x.x is there a way i can do a search for ip addresses to find it?

This antana is built to connect to a wired connection and has a wireless pcmcia card in it that connects to wireless routers. all i need to know is how to search for a ip address. or maybe search a range of ip addresses.

thanks.

Hi,

typically, 172.16.0.0 networks are used, since this range is made for private use.

maybe you can try the following command lines from your linux box :
ifconfig eth0 172.16.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
for i in $(seq 2 255) ; do if ping -c 3 "172.16.0.$i" &> /dev/null ; then echo 172.16.0.$i ; fi ; done
