oops, that should be
zinc-> nbplkup | grep 58624.87
Also, I'll re-iterate the warning given before. The network numbers of
Macintoshes are subject to change. As I've heard, on startup, it tries
a (cached) number to see if it's in use, then uses it if it isn't, or
tries another number if it is, and so on...
So, if people haven't been adding more machines to your network, this
will likely give you the right result, but possibly not. I'd suggest
asking before you take somebody else's suggestion and paddle the
offender.
Good Luck!
