    Hello ib,

    I don't know of one. Did you ask Arca Noae by opening a support ticket?

    Why would I do that.... in windows you go ipconfig /all and you find the
    mac address... I do not recall what I did with my Pi and I found the
    "Mac Address" ... or what ever Linux calls it....

    Are you telling me there is no command that will show me my VM's Mac
    address without contacting the author to open up some kind of support
    ticket...

    Thanx anyway

    Joe

    there's no ifconfig or similar? i'd almost be willing to bet there is but i've not run OS/2 since completely switching to linux two years ago...

    Hi Joe,

    I wouldn't know; I get my MAC addresses through my router or using something like nmap on my network.

    So, no, in the 25 years I've run OS/2, I've not had a need to look up the MAC address in the OS because I've always checked elsewhere.

    Not that I know of. Like I told Joe, I usually will get MAC addresses from my router as it prints them all out in a nice text file for me.

    Actually, it's been a decade since I've needed MAC addresses and Joe didn't specify why he needed it. The only reason I looked them up the last time was because I was limiting network access by MAC addresses but after I was shown how that can be spoofed, I didn't finalize that project.

    Sean
