Just issue the ifconfig command, with no arguments, from the Linux side.
It'll show you all of your active network interfaces. Apart from the
lo interface (which is the loopback interface), any other interface's
address is ok for you to use (just use the 'inet addr' for that interface).
The eth0 interface is probably what you want. Better yet would be if you
had a dummy0 interface, that could be always up.
That is supposing you haven't configured any kind of firewall protection
for some of those interfaces against access from your MacOS-side address.
You could be sure of this by issuing the 'ipchains -L' command from the
Linux side, and examining the output. But, if your kernel is kind of old,
it won't accept the ipchains command, making it necessary for you to use
ipfwadm.
Well, since this list is not on networking, but on mol, I'll stop now.
If you need further help, just drop me another note with your particular
output from those commands.
