Hi,

I am new to linux OS and trying to set up IP (internet settings) for my test server.

I have IP with me and i did the following:

1) Start -> System Settings -> Network

2) Here I got network setting dialog box and I activated the eth0 connection by giving static IP and connected the network cable. I don't know what to give in the subnet mask and default gateway address.

Then i saved this configuration but in vain.

I do have one running server and i am looking into it also. When i did ifconfig command on my production server, i got its address and other information from eth0 and lo. And when i viewed the step 1 above for production it has Automatically obtain IP address settings with dhcp enabled.

I tried to do the same with the test machine but i m not getting it working.

I googled for this and found about files etc/sysconfig/network and etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. But not able to do much as these files are almost same in my production and test.

My production is running fine and i m working on test. But not able to do this. Can someone please tell me where i'm getting wrong. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

I am doing this on

redhat 9.0
Gnome: 2.2
