Does anyone know how to figure out the hostname/IP address of a machine
from its ethernet address on a solaris network? I have a box here that's
useless to me (win2k professional, don't have any passwords, guy who has
went to india for 2 months), and I want to use its IP address and
hostname on a Suse 6.4 laptop I have here. Unfortunately, seeing as it's
win2k, I don't get the handy "welcome to <hostname>" message at the
login screen, and I can't get in to find out. All I have is the ethernet
address from the back of the machine. Any ideas? I know how to get the
ethernet address from the hostname, but not the other way around.

A superfluous element of a source program included so the

six months later. Only the weak-minded need them, according
to those who think they aren't.
