Re: how to find a static IP

Another option would be to plug the sever and a PC with tcpdump or wireshark to the same switch, and let the sniffer 
run for a while you should see the ip broadcasting itself.

And just adjust you PC to the IP scheme and try to log in!

Is there a console terminal? Why don't you just log into it and ask?

I don't know what you're doing with nmap, but 'nmap -sP 192.168.3.0/24' 
scans my LAN and tells me the IP and MAC and reverse lookup of every 
host on the net.

Another possibility would be to look at the ARP table of one of the 
other hosts on the LAN ('arp', on Linux). That gives a list of most 
hosts (I just tried it, and it didn't see the TV set)...
