OK....i rather give up with this pile of shite >:( >:( >:( >:(
this was the whole reason why i bought a load of Mac kit....so much easier
Where the hell do you find the Mac addresses within Vista....and before anyone says 'on the bottom of the PC' don't, they dont have them
I need to connect 2 machines to my network and neither of them seem to want to give me the mac address.......
So far i have spent 2 hours looking, in that time i have set up
Xbox 360
Iphone
Blackberry
Macbook and mini mac
Apple TV
Wii
Elonex linux pc
why do microshit have to make things so bloody difficult >:( >:(
-
on xp
start - run
write "cmd.exe" (ok)
write "ipconfig -all"
must be similiar on vista :y

Yup, same as all Windows - ipconfig /all

cheers chaps....... :y

just out of curiosity can you do the same with linux?

Most Unix can do ifconfig -a - with Linux, just ifconfig to show plumbed interfaces. ifconfig on its own won't work in Solaris.

Is your duplex setting right - you're gettign a shit load of collisions. Or are you using a shitting hub (does another still use hubs?)

That machine was until recently connected via a 10mb hub. Probably hasn't been restarted since. :-[
In my defence I ran out of sockets and said hub was the nearest device that would join a couple of RJ45s. ::)

each to their own, me personally would prefer OSX, for one stability........
Missus has to reboot her Vista thing on a daily basis, the Mac has now been running for over 6 weeks and still no sign of a reboot, even the downloads have not required a restart......
and i train people on windows as well, the DOS side is not something i deal in but XP/Vista is a daily occurance >:(

NT based Windows don't need daily reboots, unless the apps are a bit naughty.
Same with Unix/Linux, the OS is generally stable - particularly proper Unix. Its the apps that generally cause the issues.
Where Windows does appear to be better is resource management when apps ask for more than can be delivered. Linux in particular seems to be problematic in this respect - Windows will recover if you can kill the rogue process, Linux can't.
And anyone who says its easier to kill rogue processes under unix is telling porkies. Frequently even kill -9 won't kill it. Under Solaris, I'm well versed in typing reboot - d to crashdump, and restart (or to break, and sync) >:(

most programmers dont dispose or free their allocated memory structures, even some of them dont know what it is ;D

I'll agree with TB for once, Linux 'can' have some issues with resources not being freed if the app is killed or segfaults, but its not always the case (I've not come across that on my Gentoo install anyways, although I've never had an app bomb out and need manual killing other than Flash running under wine...)
Only 1 error too on my network interfaces :)

even then the cause of that was the router getting kicked and losing power... 44days since last reboot too.
