| 197080 | 2003-12-04 20:02:00 | You have to be root to run ifconfig Open a terminal window and type: su - [Enter your root password] Now, type: ifconfig It'll show you your current network interfaces (including lo which is loopback, for pinging localhost AFAIK). Next, type: ifconfig down eth0 ifconfig up eth0 192.168.0.3 This will make _sure_ your IP Address is 192.168.0.3, and the netmask defaults to 255.255.255.0 if you select a class C range IP. Next, type: route (As root still) and post back the results of that here. Check now though if you can ping 192.168.0.1 Cheers Chill. |

I _never_ have with networking Linux, and see no need to start now ;-) Simple take the ethernet interfaces down then bring them back up. Shuold take about 6-7 seconds max ;-) |

| 197083 | 2003-12-04 20:18:00 | Also tried: >su - root (then switches to zan@localhost root in stead of zan@localhost zan but I still can't use ipconfig. |

| 197084 | 2003-12-04 20:19:00 | Hold on, I've spotted my mistake it's iFconfig, not ipconfig... Windows has polluted my mind. I'll give it a go now. | Jaguar (4442) | ||
| 197085 | 2003-12-04 20:24:00 | You just type: su - You can add the root afterwards... but yeah.... And make sure you run: ifconfig lower-case, Linux is case sensitive remember :-) |

| 197087 | 2003-12-04 20:48:00 | Sorry, got that round the wrong way... try: ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 Come to think of it,when you run: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.3 That should bring it up... ;-) Try that and lemme know how you get on :-) |

| 197088 | 2003-12-04 20:55:00 | Ok, this time there was no error... so I assume that it worked... what do I do now? | Jaguar (4442) | ||
