Where is the file where I can set IP?

[sparkles43]

I know I can do an IFCONFIG -a to see the IP of my machine. But if I want to statically assign a new IP what is the file I neet to edit? What is the path to the file? Can someone give me a tip'? Thanks

that is usually done via an rc/init script during the init process, of course that varies from distrobution to the next and since you neglected to mention what your running...

Tip: Beware of tachyon emissions overloading the system. (bofh style)

If you would be so kind as to tell us what distro you are using we could tell you.

Give '/etc/hosts' a try.

It depends on what distro you're using... it could be /etc/sysconfig/networking-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

[dkeav]

could be /etc/network/interfaces

From another posting (http://justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=134346) he as FC2 installed on his machine.

GEEZ guys, stop shooting in the dark! :mad: Some of these things ( :rolleyes: like this one :rolleyes: ) ARE distro specific! :eek:

<smarta$$ sarcasm>Yeah...what he said! I'm so ashamed... with the combine number of posts....you guys should've known you were supposed to search their previous posts to find out what they're using...or better yet...by what type of fonts they were using when they posted!</smarta$$ sarcasm> :D

It wasn't so much the thing of going and looking at other posts to find out what he had, it was the fact that everyone kept GUESSING! :rolleyes:

[dkeav]

aye that was last week, hes on something new this week

never trust noobs ability to stick with a distrobution, it will let you down, therefore i ask

or i could just do the smart thing and just not help on posts like that, smart questions get smart answers i suppose ;)

Hey I,m a Senior Citizen dkeav like I'm 76 if that qualifies :D I do not want to be a 'noob' anymore now. :o Ha. Ha. However I am hard at work reading to obtain that hard earnt knowledge that you possess dkeav :cool:

[dkeav]

Actually, as a complete lost puppy in Linux, I appreciated the comments. While I'd have expected all of the distros to use the same, they obviously don't. Also, the OP could have looked in the multitiude of places listed by those who were guessing and taken at least an educated stab at it.

heh not familiar with sarcastic razzing eh, the idea was to prove a point about asking smart questions
