how to set ip.
i have two systems both are connected by direct cable.
now how to set up a ip address and route for better home networking ? |
I think mandrake has a tool called netconf (or maybe netconfig) or if you just want to set it as a one off:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 |
run netconfig & give whtever ip & gateway or necessary info to it.
& after that do restart network service for your changes to come into effect. |
are you using a router? or two direct connections?
|
two direct connection there is no router.

I got a slighty different problem (apart from beeing stuck in a french city where every keyboard is mixed up so it takes me hours for typing...)... or rather two:
First of all, I'm a new linux user and not yet used to the system. A friend of mine istalled a current version of Debian on my laptop which now works fine, but won't connect to the wireless lan (PCMCIA Wireless Card: Netlink DWL G650+, seems to work properly) at the college campus. I got the WEP encryption key and and changed the settings (on KDE, I'm not yet into console using) as I thought it should work. Yet, I didn't find an option to receive the IP automatically from the host, which seems to be required. How can I tell my system to do so? Second problem is rather unimportant.... I'd like to connect my desktop computer (Win XP, shame on me) with my Debian laptop via wireless and I habe no idea how to do so. By the way:The friend who installed Debain is now about 500 km away and won't answer my mails... so I thought I'd drop by here and see if anybody can help me. Thanks a lot in advance! JK |
you better to start a new thread for unified approach.
but okey.As for a fixed ip address that u have asked..jus u have to look for a script .. [staff@localhost staff]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=10.25.240.1 ONBOOT=yes MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no WIRELESS_ENC_KEY="" NEEDHOSTNAME=yes [staff@localhost staff]$ this is my file.U just modify to ur settings. |
Just to into the Mandrake Control Centre - its all in there in the GUI
