Stupid IP Configuration Question

[Frederic Breitwieser]

Greetings.

My apologies for asking probably the dumbest question, but staring at the
monitor isn't helping :)

When I re-installed 2.0 (hamm) from scratch, I enabled a PPP connection,
dialed, downloaded everything, configured, and all is swell (not bad for a
Compaq 4/50 Prolinea).  Anyway, now im trying to enable my eth0 card.  The
3c509 driver is loaded, I can see it with lsmod.  But, I looked at the
/etc/networks file and I wasn't sure where to add the ip address/netmask
for the eth0 card.

before I screwed it up, I wanted to ask.

Thanks

No apology necessary.

You want the /etc/init.d/network file.  Should be pretty easy to figure
out that file.  If not, just ask.
