You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.

to view or edit your ip settings manually for eth0 or eth1 (your network cards)

 

go here

 

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethx

 

where x= the number of your network card

 

for example

 

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

 

will show you the config file for eth1

 

here is a sample one below for my wireless card

 

 

 



Code:
# Please read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-*/sysconfig.txt
# for the documentation of these parameters.
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=100.0.0.1
TYPE=Wireless
DEVICE=eth1
HWADDR=00:02:2d:46:b2:5f
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.0.0
ONBOOT=yes
DHCP_HOSTNAME=
IPADDR=100.0.0.123
NAME=
DOMAIN=
ESSID=wirelinux
CHANNEL=11
MODE=Ad-Hoc
RATE=11Mb/s




also note that these changes only take effect if the network service is restarted or the interface is cycled. i.e. service network restart

are you doing this correctly ?

 

if you are getting a command not found error then you need to login as root correctly

and that is done by typing su -

 



Code:
su -
