static ip?

[carlwill]

On my linux machine I want to set up an IP to do port fowarding to.

I am having a hardtime finding a simple type of command that equal to "ipconfig" to see what I have been assigned.

I also can't seem to change this in Gnome (Fedora 2)

Applications > System Settings > Network >

On devices tab I see my one ethernet adapter & then I see hardware, DNS, & host tabs but none allow me to add a generic 192.168.1.x address.

Can someone help me with both questions?

just want to check what you want to do? do you have two eth devices? both installed correctly? if so this link will help?

No, I have one ethernet contorller and I want to assign this controller a ip of 192.168.1.305 that way I can direct any incoming traffic on port 80 via my router to that Linux machine running appache.

BTW - I think you forgot the link but I don't think I full explained myslef right on what I was trying to do. :o

The command you are looking for is:

ifconfig

But you must be logged in as root.

ok, I was able to do that if I su - but not if I just su. I don't understand why but it worked.

Now how do I change that IP the adapter is assigned?

[kosmosik]

ok you have router and Linux machine and you want Linux machine to have certain IP adress (and netmask and gateway) so the router can redirect 80 calls to this Linux machine? use netconfig - it is so straightforward that it could not be easier IMHO. you just supply the numbers and save them...

netconf is the command line equivilant of system-config-network. you should just use the gui. just start Applications > System Settings > Network and click on your device and click the edit button. at the bottom, you will se the option to either use dhcp or static. choose static and input the data.

I prefer command line too but for someone trying to setup static ips for the first time in linux gui is best bet. :)

Old Skewl........
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=whatever
GATEWAY=router ip

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=ip_goes_here
NETMASK=255.255.250.0
ONBOOT=yes

The /etc/init.d/network restart

the simple command is "ifconfig"
ifconfig -a lists all pertinant info on your ethernet devices

Hope this helps
