Apologies on a simple question, but it's escaping my head right now, and I can't find an answer readily out of the the books I have in front of me. At the installfest, we got Debian running on my system. However, I need to make a network IP change to it. Currently, it's running DHCP. I need to make it a permanent static address. I know I can issue the command of: # ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.50 netmask 255.255.255.0 And this will assign the IP address. However, it's only good temporarily until the box is rebooted. What files/commands to I need to issue or modify to make this a permanent change? Looking in the /etc/network directory, there is an interfaces file with NIC info. Is this the correct one? If so, what should it look like for static IP's and netmask? On Slackware, I did a "netconfig" and an interactive prompt came up. Thanks, appreciate any help on this. -- Shawn The difficult we do today; the impossible take a little longer.
