Please Help

I'm trying to find out the ethernet card address by not
opening up all my sun sparc stations and physically looking
around.

Any  Ideas

Next time, why not try posting to comp.lang.fortran
        - its not a fortran question either.....

If you really want to know how to get a MAC address, then go to the box
full of solaris manuals 3 metres from your desk, get out the one marked
"Administering TCP/IP" and read page 41 :-}

Quinch.

This is by no means a C question. It belongs either to comp.unix.programmer
(if you're interested in a general Unix solution -- if it exists) or to
a Sun specific newsgroup.

If the system is already on a network, go to another Unix box from the
same network and type:

ping hostname
arp hostname

The result should be something like this:

sunosref:~ 8> ping sunsoref
sunsoref.cern.ch is alive
sunosref:~ 9> arp sunsoref
sunsoref (128.141.237.115) at 8:0:20:19:0:16
