Just in case... I forgot to explain how it works... It just uploads a file (by default, it's called ip.html) to a web-server that you can FTP into. You can go there, and it'll show you the ifconfig information for your NIC, so you know what it's IP address changed to. Noah Dunker Systems Analyst/Technician Johnson County Community College ------------ I hacked a script called "setip" I found on freshmeat. It's meant for ppp dialups. This works fine. put it in Cron to run every 5 minutes. make sure your .netrc file has the FTP information to FTP in with your username and password. yes, it's really a hacked kludge, but it works for me! #!/usr/local/bin/bash if [ `ifconfig ep0 | wc -l ` -gt 1 ] then if [ "`cat ~/.ipaddr`" != "`ifconfig ep0`" ] then date > ~/.ip.dat ifconfig tun0 >> ~/.ip.dat ifconfig tun0 > ~/.ipaddr ftp host.mydomain.com << EOTEXT > /dev/null lcd /home/myaccount cd /home/myaccount/public_html put .ip.dat ip.html EOTEXT echo "PUT" fi fi -----Original Message----- From: J [mailto:dude@shell.schulte.org] Sent: Thursday, July 26, 2001 4:32 PM To: Jonathan Chen Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DHCP client IP I think you got me wrong. The client works fine. The only problem is, i cant use remote access on it because i dont know what it's IP address is. That's why i was asking if there was a way to guess what the next IP address would be. thanks again. _______________________________________________ /"\ ASCII Ribbon campaign against E-Mail \ / in gratuitous HTML and Microsoft X proprietary formats. / \ On Fri, 27 Jul 2001, Jonathan Chen wrote: Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2001 09:16:52 +1200 From: Jonathan Chen <jonathan.chen@itouch.co.nz> To: J <dude@shell.schulte.org> Cc: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: DHCP client IP On Thu, Jul 26, 2001 at 02:15:30PM -0500, J wrote: > I've recently installed FreeBSD on one of the computers in my college's > lab.
