as root, do a "ifconfig eth0"

and look at "HWaddr"

ifconfig not ipconfig

how about the equivanlent of ifconfig for RH9 ?

Code:

[root@dhcp-241-3 stuff]# ifconfig -a
bash: ifconfig: command not found
[root@dhcp-241-3 stuff]# ifconfig eth0
bash: ifconfig: command not found

logon as a root
and use following command

ifconfig
and see = eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr (here should be
mac)
for more help use
ifconfig --help
man ifconfig

thanks for joining this forum

try using:

/sbin/ifconfig eth0

in rh 7.3, ifconfig is in /sbin and for me, anyway. if it's not there for you then this command should work in order to find it:

whereis ifconfig

/sbin/ifconfig

was just the ticket i needed. thanks.
