What to do in this cases? What are the options?
- secure 11y agoDisconnect cables from each switch and see when the ping replies stop :).
- huhtenberg 11y agoUnless it's on a WiFi connection, in which case things get substantially more complicated :)
- bdcravens 11y agoTypically you can login to the router and see machines attached, and kick/ban MAC addresses.
- rifung 11y agoThat still won't help you find where the machine is located though. With cables you can presumably just follow the cable when you realize disconnecting one stops the pings
- jevinskie 11y agoWardriving software like kismet will show your the RSSI of the AP. Is it possible with stock hardware to determine the RSSI of connected devices? Then it is just the hot/cold game. I'm sure actual radio triangulation/direction finding would be possible as well but I'm not sure how difficult that would be.
- bdcravens 11y agoYou could have an electrician identify circuits and start throwing circuit breaker switches to achieve the same result? (obviously might be a bit chaotic, but it'd be a good time to test your UPS infrastructure at the same time, right?)
- robotresearcher 11y agoAnd now you have really lost the machine.
- ytdht 11y agoYou can turn off the electric breakers one by one
- spyder 11y agoIf the server has a "PC speaker" like desktop computers then you could make them beep to help find them.
- sciurus 11y agoClean your apartment.
