SE_Sport_Driver carpal tunnel Registered: 05/01/2001 Posts: 4903 Loc: Detroit, MI USA	With differant DHCP settings in Hijack for @Work and @Home, sometimes I have trouble connecting directly to the empeg depending on how it booted up. Looking at the subnet on both the empeg and whatever PC I'm using would help to troubleshoot sometimes... Maybe this could be added in a future empeg release? _________________________ Brad B.

It appears to be the netmask displayed in hexadecimal reversed. Your netmask is probably 255.255.255.0. That can also be written FF FF FF 00. Why /proc/net/route shows it reversed I'm not sure. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

wfaulk carpal tunnel Registered: 25/12/2000 Posts: 16706 Loc: Raleigh, NC US	I was thinking that would have been FF FF 00 FF, but I guess you're right. _________________________ Bitt Faulk

mlord carpal tunnel Registered: 29/08/2000 Posts: 14497 Loc: Canada	Here is a somewhat fancier version: Code: [hijack] ;@MENUEXEC Netmask y=`cat /proc/net/route` && y=${y:162:8} && echo popup 5 "Netmask=$((0x${y:6:2})).$((0x${y:4:2})).$((0x${y:2:2})).$((0x${y:0:2}))" >/proc/empeg_notify
