Statically assign IP

[CICA]

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this one. I'm still slowly but surely get a feel to Linux, but I have been unable to complete the following task. I have been trying to statically assign my machine an ip address which is easily done by typing:

ifconfig wlan0 192.168.x.x

But every time I reboot the machine I loose this ip address I was just wondering if I could some how have it so that when my machine boots it will always have this desired ip address...

Thanks in advance

Go to Network Device Control and select the device you want and hit configure, select the device again and select edit, cycle through the tabs at the top and set the parameters.....Also make sure you check the DNS tab and set the DNS....

Or, me mate, edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 to read:

BOOTPROTO=none

and

IPADDR=192.168.x.x
