Re: Changing IP address

Charles

an example:

------------------
su - root
<password>


ifconfig wlan0 192.168.17.8 netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default gw 192.168.17.1
-------------------------

That's it, this is dynamic though, once you reboot, it's gone.

Yast edits /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-wlan0, you can edit this
manually by adding these entries:

BOOTPROTO='static'
BROADCAST='192.168.17.255'
IPADDR='192.168.17.8'
MTU=''
NETMASK='255.255.255.0'
NETWORK='192.168.17.0'

however; I'm not sure what all Yast changes, there might be more
files,
and you'd be better off setting the static with yast.

hope this helps.
