MAC address? DHCP - Home Network
How do I find my MAC address?
I tried the /sbin># ifconfig -a but I get: "bash: ifconfig: command not found " (even as root/su) As a noob to Linux; All I want to do it be able to surf the web (for starteres) on my laptop (running Fedora Core 2) from my Home Network (DLink DI-604 Router). DHCP on the Laptop NIC didn't discover so I put in a static IP. This let me ping the router and other PC's but there was no DHCP entry in the router. I tried to put a static DHCP entry in but it wanted the MAC. Anyone have any suggestions (besides going back to MSWindows)? Thanks, l8r. |
Nevermind, I found it using a DOS prompt (>arp) from my windows machine and then again thru the GUI on the Linux box.
...I'm online, but it took a little trial-and-error....... ....I told you I was a noob. |
You donot need root privelegs to just run 'ifconfig'. You will need the privelege only when you are about to set some values using it. Below is the output from my server.
Code:
<ravip@lfx1> (Tue Aug 24 08:03:59) [/netsim/bsdnfs05/ravip] 'arp' will give you the MAC address of all the neighbour nodes as well. |
