> Embed a 4 port NIC, Disk-on-Chip, and RAM: would make for a great low cost Linux router, firewall, etc... No it wouldn't! Why do people say this? For one thing, 4-port NICs are *expensive*. You can buy a cheap 4-port switched router. Even if you were to get a 4-port card for free, Linux will *not* be able to forward or even bridge the packets fast enough.

This was the first intelligent comment for this story. The root DNS servers are definately NOT the backbone of the internet.
He didn't say "find", he said "get". To get someone's MAC addr, break into their DSL/cable modem and then read the appropriate configuration variable. I was merely stating that it is not impossible to get someone's MAC address from a different subnet. You just need to be creative. Note: I do not condone cracking/hacking of any kind (anymore). It's merely an example.
Bzzzzt wrong. Read the man page. It's: ifconfig eth0 hw ether 00:11:22:33:44:55
Never say "cannot" when you're not sure. It is definately possible to get someone's MAC address. You just need to be creative about it. For example, you could crack into their DSL/cable modem or firewall. Don't say that's not possible. I've done it...

How's the Quake 3 performance on an Xbox? It might be useful for LAN parties instead of having to haul around a 60lb tower.
