Setting a static IP address

thedp · 05-02-2008, 03:22 AM

Hello,

I've trying to set a static IP address on my Slackware 12.0.
Google search came out pretty much useless since every guide talks about RedHat and /etc/sysconfig which is no where to be found on Slackware.

I need to set a static IP address and default gateway.

Thank you.

The file your looking for is in /etc/rc.d/

I think it's the rc.inet1.conf or something similar. It should be pretty well documented so it's easy to edit.

sudo su
netconfig

As the poster above already pointed out...

Edit your "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf" file with your static IP settings.
Edit your "/etc/resolve" file and insert your DNS IP's <nameserver x.x.x.x>

Then restart or run "/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart" and your all set.
