comprehensive view on network & IP settings

bluegospel · 01-28-2011, 06:33 PM

Hi. I'm very much a newbie and was wondering whether there's a nice tool in Linux (I'm running CentOS) that will give me a comprehensive view of all my network settings, including things like device IP addresses, whether they're public or private, hostnames, Internet connections, my DNS server, etc. At this point I'll be using the info as a learning aid, and a point of reference for setting up a ("micro") LAN and making a few web pages public. Your experience is coveted.

Oh, I'm running Apache.

Hi! Maybe you already know this command but "ifconfig" gives you all that information you are saying. Maybe some graphical tool?

Thanks, this helps! Now I just have to learn to read it.

I'm in a similar situation. Maybe the replies I've received in my thread could be helpful:
