For maintenance purposes it would be nice to have telnet access to these boxes when required. Ideally we'd like to phone a contact on site and ask them for their gateway's current IP address so we can telnet to it. However, we'd prefer that contact to be able to run a Win32 app of some sort that would tell them the IP address, rather than talking them thru the login at the BSD box and then having them do an 'ifconfig'. Sitting on a Win32 net behind a FreeBSD gateway, how can I know the gateway's outbound if IP address without lifting my butt out of my chair and doing an 'ifconfig ' on the gateway (or telnetting to it)? Any help/pointers greatly appreciated, Thanks, Kai To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
