hello all! i had made a small mistake while setting up debian 3.0. i had entered my machine's ip address (statically determined), and gateway address incorrectly.
i have changed ip address and gateway entries in /etc/network/interfaces by hand!! *some satisfaction considering that i am a newbie* it seems to have worked. on restarting, i could connect to the net and i am able to send this mail from my linux box. now, i want to know if i need to change any other files for incorrect ip address and gateway. also let me know how does one change dns server numbers? is there any configuration utility that will do all this (ip address, gateway, netmask, dns server entries) for me? by the way, in the /etc/network/interfaces, there is an entry 'network'. this is after address and netmask entries. i do not know if i need to change it. or what does it mean. i had modified this also and nothing seems to be wrong. please let me know if i need to change this also or what does it mean. regards, sandip -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
