Hi
the net woring information is stored under /etc/sysconfig/
there is a file called network in there you need to at least configure your
gateway
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=" NAME HERE"
GATEWAY="131.xxx.xxx.xxx"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0 or whatever "
cd into networks-scripts
in there create a file called
ifcfg-eth0 add the lines...
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ONBOOT="yes"
now cd into /etc/rc.d/init.d and look for a file called network
then run it
./network stop
./network start
you just need to expreriment with the two files until it looks like what you
want.
good luck !

Subject: [expert] ip networking
Dear all,
I have installed and setup madrake 7.1 fine, my first question is this
I have setup ip networkin using the three commands
if config eth0 131.xxx.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0 up
route add -net 133.xxx.x.x netmask 255.255.0.0
route add default gw 131.xxx.x.xx eth0
and I can ping all my servers and clients no problem.
This info is lost upon reboot, how do I store this so I do not have to keep
entering it.
Also why does the linuxconf not seem to enter this info as I tried using
this before typing in the commands and it did not work.
Thanks for any help
Paul
