Now, this could be done a couple of ways. If eth1 is set to get its information from a DHCP server, then it is not set on your machine at all, but is given by the DHCP server. If you have a static IP address, then I would look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1. You should also have other configurations in the network-scripts directory. ifcfg-eth0 is the configuration for eth0. If you want to know what all the options are, you may want to read /usr/share/doc/initscripts-9.20.2/sysconfig.txt Mikkel - -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup! -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAk4g5wsACgkQqbQrVW3JyMR3TACeMc1BPS3bLYVD9xt0Ax4Kru6Y TKsAoIAmATyM+UsOqIjQJA6Kyn6aa5+i =hlRf -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
