No, the mac address only insures that the installer uses the correct ethernet device. You must telnet to an ip address, of course. The command you give assumes that an address will be provided via some dhcp server on your network. If you don't know how to discover what addresses your dhcp server is assigning, you should probably simply assign an appropriate static address, netmask, and gateway as shown in our telnet mini-howto. On Linux you could: tail /var/log/messages |grep dhcp namp -sP [yournetwork]/[your.netmask] e.g. nmap -sP 192.168.1.0/24 Janina
