    Changing the IP address

    I had to reinstall FC4 in one of my machines cuz the harddrive went bad. When I started to check settings I noticed that the IP address on the machine, which used to be 192.168.0.102, is now 192.168.0.101, the same as the IP address on a windows XP machine my wife uses.
    How to I manually change the address?

    just remember that anything done with ifconfig is temporary and will go back to the other ip if u ever reboot

    somewhere there is a file prob in /etc that you config your network settings in ( in gentoo it is /etc/cong.d/net) i dont know what it is in fc
