Appendix E Setting up Your Computer’s IP Address

288

1 Assuming that you have only one network card on the computer, locate the 

ifconfig-

eth0

 configuration file (where 

eth0

 is the name of the Ethernet card). Open the 

configuration file with any plain text editor.

•

If you have a dynamic IP address, enter 

 in the 

BOOTPROTO=

 

field. The following figure shows an example.

•

If you have a static IP address, enter 

 in the 

BOOTPROTO=

 

field. Type 

IPADDR

= followed by the IP address (in dotted decimal 

notation) and type 

NETMASK

= followed by the subnet mask. The 

following example shows an example where the static IP address is 
192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

2 If you know your DNS server IP address(es), enter the DNS server information in the 

resolv.conf

 file in the 

/etc

 directory. The following figure shows an example where 

two DNS server IP addresses are specified.

3 After you edit and save the configuration files, you must restart the network card. Enter 

./network restart

 in the 

/etc/rc.d/init.d 

directory. The following figure 

shows an example.
