| How do I renew my IP like in windows with ifconfig?
Thanks. | |

| type either man or info before ifconfig it will explain how to use it. | |

| # ifup eth0
# ifdown eth0
That will go out and fetch an IP
# ifconfig eth0 10.111.238.5
Assigns a static IP of 10.111.238.5 to eth0. | |

| Hi folks
you must be looking for some way to change ip address with some powerfull tool/ command utility. ifconfig is one of the simplest and good comman utility that could be used..
remember a word of caution: while using ifconfig you must specify the full lenght ip address , mean ip, netmask, and if needed gateway too.And must see that things went right by using the -a option
COMMAND LINE:
ifconfig eth0 192.175.170.171 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
ifconfig -a eth0
besides you can use "netconfig" , "neat" , but they need some of GIMP modules be loaded( which by default).
ifconfig is a static command line utility.i.e the ip setting gets lost the moment we restart the system . Others are for sure permanent store.
try using others as well and see the difference ... | |
