Hey Mandy Gurus out there.

Im running 9.2, no Xserver, just the Shell. I think it might be Bash, I'm not too sure, my knowledge of the opensource world is still quite minimal, but Im looking to try and set my ip to be static. I'm behind an openBSD gateway firewall computer running packetfilter. I did not set that up. Some uber bsd freak did that for me, and hes not readily available right now. So if anyone out there crusing the boards can help me, i'd really appreicate that. Please keep in mind, i have no graphical interface what so ever, and I plan on doing all of this from a win32 putty client. Thanks.

No guru here but may this will work. I got this from Gentoo when I did it:


# ifconfig $IFACE $IPNUM broadcast $BCAST netmask $NMASK
# route add -net default gw $GTWAY netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1 $IFACE

Definitions
$IFACE = usually- eth0
$IPNUM = Your static address
$BCAST = usually 192.168.1.255
$NMASK = usually 255.255.255.0
$GTWAY = Gateway address - usually 192.168.0.1


Then edit your /etc/resolv.conf file to:

domain mydomain.com
nameserver 10.0.0.1
nameserver 10.0.0.2

Of course you would replace the 10.0.0.1 with your DNS

Then try it out:

ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com
