know that to assign an IP to an iterface you do:

ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10

but i don't know what start up file to put this in

this is on a non-gui machine

I guess you using Redhat, so.. you can edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.local and add your ifconfig line there, and it will load when your system boots.

:) Yup.

Well, almost... it's ifcfg-eth0, not ifcfg-etho.

As long as we're being picky ;)

It's actually /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

not

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-etho

Joe :)

Sorry for the lame post, I wanted to play too.

If I can post correct info when I'm roaring drunk, you should at least be able to figure out which key is which on your keyboard.
