[lug] Very odd, not really linux question -- WATT 32, AT&T at home

[Brad Grissom]

Yeah, I actually made up the information for demonstrative purposes.  I know better than to show the real information!

We do have more than one IP address.  We have a separate IP address for each machine.  So I've been scouring the web and the best I can come up with is that for all machines to see each other, it has something to do with NetBIOS, where each machine broadcasts its presence and IP address.

I believe if I have it setup correctly, the command:

arp -a

should show all the machines on the local network.  But how do I tell what IP address the Windows machines have, when they are set up for DHCP?  Or how do I set the local IP address while still using DHCP?
