amule and static ip

Quicken2k · 06-21-2014, 09:32 AM

Every time a restart Slackware I get assigned a new IP address and this gives me a low id. In windows I have a program to set my ip as static. How can I do that with Slackware?

run netconfig as root and set a static ip.

I forgot to mention my connection is wireless. Does that matter?

yes it matters
call your isp and buy a static address

If you are talking about ip address from the router to wireless connection, static will work fine.

For a wireless Static IP you can edit '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf' for your wireless chipset/card/adapter;

Quote:

Stanza introduction from '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf';

# /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
#
# This file contains the configuration settings for network interfaces.
# If USE_DHCP[interface] is set to "yes", this overrides any other settings.
# If you don't have an interface, leave the settings null ("").

# You can configure network interfaces other than eth0,eth1... by setting
# IFNAME[interface] to the interface's name. If IFNAME[interface] is unset
# or empty, it is assumed you're configuring eth<interface>.

# Several other parameters are available, the end of this file contains a
# comprehensive set of examples.

Code:

Just be very careful what you DL using amule
most of the servers are controlled by LEO
and lock your "server.met" file

a corrupted server can add servers to the list
servers controlled by leo or "bad guys"
