Display Subnet in "About"

With differant DHCP settings in Hijack for @Work and @Home, sometimes I have trouble connecting directly to the empeg depending on how it booted up. Looking at the subnet on both the empeg and whatever PC I'm using would help to troubleshoot sometimes... Maybe this could be added in a future empeg release?

You mean, something like this (try it):
Code:

---

[hijack]
;@MENUEXEC netmask y=`cat /proc/net/route` && echo popup 5 "netmask=${y:162:8}" >/proc/empeg_notify

---

Just stick that in the config.ini, reboot, and then select "Netmask" from the Hijack menu..

Oh wow! Very cool! I'll give that a shot!

Just out of curiosity I tried this copying it straight from your post into the config.ini when I try it I get:
netmask=00FFFFFF

That's definitely what should be expected from that, but I don't really understand it. It appears to be the netmask displayed in hexadecimal reversed.

Your netmask is probably 255.255.255.0. That can also be written FF FF FF 00. Why /proc/net/route shows it reversed I'm not sure.
