IP address

[Glenn at home]

I am able to ping my windows box on the same router with:
ping 192.168.0.106
and it comes back with all the needed info.
I will try it with my wife's laptop when it is on the next time.  It is on a 
wireless card.
But I had to know the IP address of the windows box, so I did not try to 
search for unknown addresses that were there.

That's too bad since I have 4 of the bloody bastards on my network
(they're for my wife and kids who haven't warmed up to Linux yet).
That does seem to match my observations though; if I ping with
something like ping -c2 or -c3 I may also hear from my other linux box
and my Netgear wireless access point.  But yea, the windows boxes
never seem to show up and they are the ones I want to verify -
especially the wireless connected ones.
