I was all messed up then. I really do not know what the question is.
Looking at the question he wants the IP address of a machine that is
working in a network. Well if it's working it must be done right and you
can just go to the machine and do a ifconfig and know all about it on
the machine in question.
I think he wants to do networking from a remote location. This is
like the questions I got in Collage where your inside the core of a big
transformer and you have certain tools like a amp meter and a coil of
wire. You calculate the details of the big transformer :-)
My solution was to get out of the room and read the information
plate on the big transformer.
