How to assign IP address using command line.

Hi,

The topic title asks how to do it via the command line.
I suggest the OP look at 'man ifconfig'. Look at 'man route' to get a view of the route table usage.

Just a few useful links;

Linux Documentation Project
Rute Tutorial & Exposition
Linux Command Guide
Bash Reference Manual
Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide
Linux Newbie Admin Guide
LinuxSelfHelp
Getting Started with Linux

These links and others can be found at 'Slackware-Links' .

it say "bash: ifconfig:command not found"

well where i am doing wrong ?

i think since fodora-10, redhat would by default not include /sbin in a normal user's $PATH.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.100 up
will probably work.

also, why are you using red-hat-9 ?
