Can anyone help me how to configure ip adress in linux.

Use redhat-config-network or ifconfig.

It depends. You never stated which distribution you are running.

[Ollie Rowland]

Hi,

I guess anyone can give you the steps to temporarily configure your IP address using the command line, but to set it permanently you will need to answer the question asked by Court - what distro of Linux are you using?

[yogesh kumar_2]

hi,

Please tell me clearly distribution in the sense.what does it mean?

[Ollie Rowland]

Hi,

Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, ...

[yogesh kumar_2]

hi

Its Red Hat.

[Ivan Krastev]

Login as root and start redhat-config-network .

ivan

redhat-config-network will work

or use "setup" command
setup > networking

[Court Campbell]

well I would love to say that redhat-config-network will work, but depending on the red hat release it may be system-config-network. It's all about the details yogesh.

For a start.....
make the correct adjustments to:

/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf

at the command prompt

This will start the network configuration tool up for you. You must be in a X gui to use this method, otherwise use the above method on going to the named dirctories and makd the needed files.
