RE: Changing I.P. Address

RH maintains network configs in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, etc.

These configs are read by scripts at boot, or if you run 'ifup eth0
down', then 'ifup eth0 up' to restart networking. The hosts file is
really for name resolution, and has nothing to do with network config.

Hope that helps ;)

Subject: Changing I.P. Address

I'm using Red Hat 9.0

I need to change the I.P. address for my Workstation
From the menu System Settings -> Network (log in)=20
   -> Hosts change there=20
   -> Eth0 change there
   -> Eth1 change there

   Is there anywhere else that I would need to
   make changes? AFAIK, the I.P. address is stored
   at /etc/hosts. Anywhere else?=20
=20
   Any other caveats?
   Thought I'd ask for feedback *before* I screwed=20
   something up. :-)

   thanks
