So do you mean to say then that if I wanted to change from a dhcp provided address to a static address... I could just edit /etc/nwam/llp to say: rge0 static 192.168.0.29 And edit /etc/hosts to comply with that. And from there on that's my new static address... no retarting of anything required? _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
