I'm not quite sure what you mean. You're at the machine and it has to reach the Internet or you have to reach the machine from the Internet? To find out current ip address ifconfig -a Which will give you information on all cards in the machine. To see the gateway route -n Usually the first and last lines both show the gateway. Not sure how it works on RH3, but 4 and 5 should also show the gateway with cat /etc/sysconfig/network For DNS cat /etc/resolv.conf will show the settings. To edit a network connection, you should be able to use system-config-network-tui It's a curses based tool, so should show in terminal. This should enable you to configure interface, gateway and DNS. If I have misunderstood the question, apologies. -- Scott Robbins PGP keyID EB3467D6 ( 1B48 077D 66F6 9DB0 FDC2 A409 FA54 EB34 67D6 ) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys EB3467D6 ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
