IP address Red Hat Linux 9

[daniel_baylon]

I'm new at Red Hat Linux 9.

I installed Red Hat Linux 9, host is configured to obtain IP address dynamically.

Linux host is connected in a Windows network, I installed and started linux FTP service to get access from win32 PC in network.

I used a ping command to a win 32 pc, but source IP address doesn't appear. Also used ifconfig command and shows me a IP address, when I try to connect from win32 ftp client, an error occurs "Unknown host name".

I made a test from linux host using same IP address and everything works fine, when I try to connect using a Red Hat Linux 8 host, connection fails.

I checked ftp service, LAN connection, and are working fine.

I don't know if I'm using wrong commands to detect IP address.

I appreciate some help.

Best Regards.

Hi, and welcome to the forums.

To try and help you out, can you post the output of running

/sbin/ifconfig

from a terminal window?


(BTW, I moved you post to here in the Networking section.)

Hi, this is the output I get from ifconfig tool.

eth0      Li

I assume that IP address is 192.85.40.220, when I try to connect to vsFTP using this address connection fails.
