Will definitely add this command to my book. |

It is so easy and I can't believe it. It worked like a charm. |

Is there a way to check what IP the device has on the network? |
| 29 |
I know the device MAC address and when I plug it IN, it obtains one of |
| 30 |
the IP via DHCP. With |
| 31 |
arp -a IP |
| 32 |
arp -e |
| 33 |
I can only check the MAC address. Is there a way to other way around. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
I know ethereal will capture the IP address, but I was wandering if |
| 36 |
there is any command line tool. |
