Finally i get something, but i still do not understand why sometime works, and why sometimes not..

i still can't get some mac address.. anyway i get some others..

I think that the file it self /root/hosts.txt was the problem.. because i wrote another host1.txt and works.

THANKS ahmad.diab!!! Smilie Smilie
