The information is stored in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 It should look similar to: (this is my ifcfg-eth1, an internal interface, with a static ip) # cat ifcfg-eth1 DEVICE=eth1 IPADDR=192.168.0.3 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8LyWfeMAUbzJhSVcRAk7DAJ9rGgE9YAB2sDXeN4ftx4xmEXWU0wCfbPPa HGU23DKiE/iVM7KTwLaBDT0= =uOjU -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
