... you could also use the following commands instead of editing all the files:
yourputer@> hostname [type hostname] yourputer@> ifconfig eth0 [your ip] netmask [type netmask] broadcast [type brdcst add.] ... I'm not familiar with a command to change your nameservers (I'm sure there wld be one though), so you'll probably need to manually edit /etc/resolv.conf to change those (if necessary). cheers Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.

To change these parameters of your machine, edit the following files: /etc/hostname /etc/hosts /etc/init.d/network (if you use slink aka Debian 2.1) /etc/network/interfaces (if you use potato aka Debian 2.2) I guess that these should be the first places where you should take a look at. You might also like to change other places like: /etc/resolv.conf /etc/host.conf > Regards > Magnus Hope this helps, Roger... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Rogerio Brito - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/ Nectar homepage: http://www.linux.ime.usp.br/~rbrito/nectar/ =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
