What is the ip of my headless.
I have a Gentoo headless wired to an xfinity DHCP. I could check via logging into the router, but that is not an option at the moment, the browser just hangs. It works sometimes. That is another issue to be dealt with. I'm not looking to fix the router. Is there any way of using nmap or something to find that box?

Really the way to find it would be to look at the address assigned by the router, and that's exactly what you said won't work.
How about configuring the Gentoo for a static IP beyond the range where you'd expect a normal DHCP address to be assigned, but within the allowable list of IP addresses your router will accept. There is no way to put a monitor and keyboard or serial console onto that Gentoo station? |
If you are on the same network you can use fping
fping -qag <prefix> will give you the ips of all the responding things on the network fping -qag 192.168.0.0/24 |
You could use nmap to scan the appropriate subnet, something like this:
Code:
nmap -sn 192.168.1.0/24 |
