I have a similar problem, different hardware. I bought a Sun 4/40 Sparc IPC (http://www.obsolyte.com/sun_ipc/) box off ebay, I have no way to hook a monitor up but I did create a cable to get a console off the serial port (http://www.obsolyte.com/sunFAQ/serial/), but it has a PROM password :( I can't get in,,,anyway I tried this method below to try to figure out the IP but its not working I hooked my debian laptop on one end and a hub(not a switch as stated)on the other end. Is there any hope ? I tried tcpdump output follows: debian:~# tcpdump eth0 eth0: Setting promiscuous mode. device eth0 entered promiscuous mode. tcpdump: listening on eth0 19:56:44.722493 rarp who-is 8:0:20:f:3f:ab tell 8:0:20:f:3f:ab (repeated many times) any advice ? should I use it for parts ? doorstop?
