Hi
Thanks for the reply. But its not what I needed. Basically I don't
know anything about this desktop, I don't even have console access.
The only way I can find it is by the IP, but I only know the
mac-address, where can I go from here. BTW it's a linux desktop.
Ping the subnet's broadcast address, and assuming the system replies
you can then use:
arp -a | grep
Adding the MAC address in the proper format to the grep command.
