<P><FONT SIZE=2>I can only speak w/respect to RH distros. Take a look at /etc/sysconfig/network. There is a line in there for your gateway. That might change. Also look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. That file contains the config for eth0, ifcfg-eth1 would contain the ip address info for eth1, etc. You need to change the appropriate file there also.</FONT></P>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Here's a simple question for you Linux gurus out there.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I have to change my local network designation because I need</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> to have access to my company's VPN in California, and it just</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> happens to have the same designation.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> So, I want to change the IP address of my Linux server to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 199.234.55.11 from what it was.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I changed the following files for just that reflection:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> /etc/hosts</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> /etc/nsswitch.conf</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I rebooted. I do an ifconfig and the first entry for *eth0*</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> stays as it was since its the card going to my cable modem.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> The second entry, for *eth1* shows "no change" either. So,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> my network is still hung up on the old IP addresses.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I'm on a different machine than I do most of my "work" on</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> and I haven't changed it yet. So, it still gets out.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> So, what ELSE must I change to get the IP addresses all set</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> correctly ??</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> If I'm not perfectly clear here, then maybe a phone call might</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> be in order. (972) 496-3939</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Thanks</FONT>
