help with detecting IP settings
|

| Hi,
I was wondering if anyone could help me on this one.
I have this Sun system which I somehow do not have keyboard or mouse, or
display access to. But I do have a crossed cable connection from my PC to
the system. Is there any way that I could detect what IP settings is the
system using (gateway, subnet, ip, etc) the crossed cable connection?
Thanks!

| When the other machine was Solaris, too, you could snoop the network for
ARP/RARP messages. Don't know what can be used on a PC, but I'd look for a
util doing the same as snoop, then power the Sun on and wait for ARP/RARP
messages.....
But why not connect a null-modem cable to SerialA port (9600 baud).....??
Regards,
Eddie

Download ethereal from www.ethereal.com and install it on your pc. It
is a free network protocol analyzer (does everything snoop does and
more). Listen on the wire and see what you see...

| Hi
Null modem, simple, I bought tow ultra 30's and had the same problem and
after mucking about trying to sniff the startup i decided it was much
simpler to just buy a null modem cable and use hyperterminal from the PC
to connect to the console - then its easy!!
hth
kind regards
Pete
