plz help me out wid this...

i think i understand the query.....
change your ip address like this, as root user

Code:

ifconfig <ethX> <ipaddress> netmask <netmask>

then run

Code:

route add default gw <ipaddress>

edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX so it looks something like

Code:

DEVICE=eth0

BOOTPROTO=none

HWADDR=00:04:02:00:04:00

ONBOOT=yes

NETMASK=<netmask>

IPADDR=<ipaddress>

GATEWAY=<gateway>

TYPE=Ethernet

USERCTL=no

IPV6INIT=no

PEERDNS=no

add correct ips to /etc/resolv.conf

Code:

nameserver <ipaddress>

nameserver <ipaddress>

Everything in brackets is substituted with your own settings
Sorry but i dont know which distro you have as you didnt say, so these apply to redhat variants.

You can also do all this in the gui using neat or system-config-network.
