Hello

Im running mandrake 9.1

Ive installed, compiled an ircd (I know how to compile, edit them)

But for some reason mine when its time to boot wont and I believe its because the ip needs to be put t the nic card.

like on xp i go to my nick card and put in an IP how do I do this on mandrake ?

I dont see anywhere in the menu a nic card.

also ifconfig shows me ip's which ip is my actual external ip ?

It's in Mandrake Control Center-> Network and Internet -> DrakConnect. It shows a table listing your interfaces and their IPs.
Your local IP is probably 192.168.x.y, 10.x.y.z. A different IP should be global one.

yeh i go to control center then network but then has no internt and no drakconnect

also another question when someone else is loggd into my box
(friend) how can I see where he is, as in what he is doing ?

who

for usage try:

man who

I am not sure in XWindows but in terminal you can go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and find the file ifcfg-eth0, enter your ip there, it should be like this :

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes

save it, and type /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
then type ifconfig, you saw your ip there. then try to reboot your system.

type w in your command prompt and you can he login from where and what he is doing right now.

All said just now was done in terminal coz i don't use XWindows so i don't know how to use it in XWindows

It's first option of the three you have right from the menu.

thanx all is working well
