Guest frew Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Right, often at lan parties we need to know a few people's IP addresses and I was wondering what log would have that information. I have seen it before in /var/log/info I think, But I dont want to wade through something like that. Thx in advance. btw if there is a better way to find out ips tell me. also, I know how to get peoples IPs on their own computer, but at a lan party people don't want to close a game to run ipcfg or something like it. whatever.

ranger Posted October 13, 2002 Report Share Posted October 13, 2002 It's probably better to set up DDNS, so that you have working reverse lookups, and the machines will get whatever name is set, then you can just ping the name. Otherwise, just run: # tail -f /var/log/syslg|grep DHCP and you will see all the DHCP traffic. Windows machines should normally send their name in the DHCPREQUEST There are probably also some simple apps which will show you all the current leases, you may want to search on freshmeat.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
