No need to reboot, just "shutdown" the NIC: ifconfig eth0 down and then run the /etc/init.d/network (after you edited it of course): /etc/init.d/network Oki

At least the routes for the local network are there. (2.2 kernels add them automatically, don't they?) I even tried to manually bring down all ethX, remove all routes and start them up again. Still doesn't work until I reboot in frustration. Can't even ping other hosts in the same network. Perhaps I overlooked something To Lindsay: I tried manually using ifconfig already :(

The NIC is fine after a reboot. Most of the time I was using slink with kernel 2.2.13. Are there any other things that I need to do? Or was it driver dependent?

Jonathan Chang said: > Is there any standard way for debian to change ip address? Or > I need to modify files in /etc manully? Thanks in advance. To change it temporarily (until the next reboot), use ifconfig. For a permanent change, yes, you have to edit a config file in /etc. (/etc/init.d/network, to be exact.) -- Geek Code 3.1: GCS d- s+: a- C++ UL++$ P+>+++ L++> E- W--(++) N+ o+ !K w---$ O M- !V PS+ PE Y+ PGP t 5++ X+ R++ tv- b++ DI D G e* h+ r++ y+

Standard way to change IP?
Hi, all Is there any standard way for debian to change ip address? Or I need to modify files in /etc manully? Thanks in advance. -- Chia-Sheng Chang Institute of Communications Engineering College of Electrical Engineering National Taiwan University Taipei, Taiwan 10617 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
