I should be happy this is working, but I really hate not understanding what is going on. Restarting the router made the additions to the DHCP STATIC TABLE work as it cleaned all old entries for the MAC address. a booted system will get the LAST address assigned to that MAC address. I had to reboot the router as the IP address table was "permanent" i.e. I revisited the vpnc man page and do not see where it might have changed the MAC address for the machine, but something made a new address. commands nor the grep command return the MAC id that makes both the router and computer work right. I have the machine working with the MAC address the router displayed when it was connecting to that machine with an address in the range of assignable connections NOT the IP I wanted ::: it works now with that MAC address Note that is ALL is returns (one line with no other stuff as there is only ONE file matching the e*ī) ALL of my machines (wife's and current have NOT had a VPN connection anywhere I only used vpnc on the affected machine) have a a virbr0 entry (which I did not list and is NOT the MAC address needed by router - the affected machine has two vir* entries - both with the same MAC address) Returns 78:45:c4:30:16:3a (this is the hardware MAC address for wired connections NOT the wireless connection NOR the actual MAC number needed by the router - see above) OK, here we are and not real well figured out. Sooooo - is there an actual way to find the real MAC address from the Linux command line? Wlp3s0 is the wireless connection and using the ifconfig command shows the correct IP address mappedīUT neither 78:45:c4:30:16:3a nor a4:17:31:03:05:f8 is the true MAC address - my router is using MAC:: 16:49:f7:03:05:f8 to map the IP address I want correctly. None show anything like the term "hwaddr" (mentioned in net articles)Īnd below is the excerpt from the latter (minus "lo" and "vir**" entries - loopback and virtual) for a machine with wired and wireless ability:Ģ: enp4s0: mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000\ link/ether 78:45:c4:30:16:3a brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffģ: wlp3s0: mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000\ link/ether a4:17:31:03:05:f8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff Perhaps these work for someone else, but they sure do NOT work here. There are many articles on the net on how to find the MAC address.
