Actually, that will give the internal ip address of the local machine and the gateway. What's easiest to do, is have them go to one of your fbsd boxes http server, and then do a tail on the access_log. If you have apache installed, it should be: /usr/local/apahche/logs/access_log so: tail /usr/local/apahche/logs/access_log Would printout the hostname of that machine. I'm sure there are many many more ways of doing this.
