ipconfiguration in suse

how to configure or give manual ip address in suse plz help

any command thnx waiting

In Suse, the easiest way would be to go to YaST -> Network Devices -> Network Card, select your card in the bottom of the screen, click on Change, then click on Edit. All the relevant settings are there.

Of course, you could always edit the card's ifcfg- file in /etc/sysconfig/network, but that would take a bit more explanation.

seems working

Glad to hear it. Let us know if you have more problems or questions, and have fun! :D

thnx for the reply man it really works ..

but tell me if i have to manually change this command via ifcfg
then what to do ..

i tried to explorer linux help that comes with it " i have suse" so it tells that

u can change your address but i m not getting that

ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT THE YAST TRICK IS EASY but
what to do if wana change script ifcfg ? thnx

There's a couple ways to enter your static IP address with ifconfig. You could also look in /etc/sysconfig/network at your NIC's ifcfg- file; you can change the bootproto from dhcp to static and set pretty much anything you want manually in that file (make a copy of the original before you futz with it, though - always good practice).

If you want to set the IP address and have the system determine
the broadcast address and subnet mask,

Code:

---

type ifconfig ethx <IP address>

---

(where x is the number of your client adapter and IP
address is your computer's IP address) and press Enter.

If you want to set the IP address and manually set the broadcast
address and subnet mask, type

Code:

---

ifconfig ethx <IP address> broadcast <broadcast address> netmask <netmask>

---

(where x is the number of your
client adapter, IP address is your computer's IP address,
broadcast address is the corresponding broadcast address, and
netmask is your subnet mask) and press Enter.

To enter the default gateway address (so you can browse the internet), type

Code:

---

route add default gw <IP address of gateway> netmask 0.0.0.0 metric 1

---

(where IP address of gateway is your default gateway address) and press Enter.

yes... in the prompt (in root/su):

Code:

---

ping 192.168.0.33

---

and press Ctrl-C to stop it (it will go on forever...)

By the way, if you want a continuous ping in Windows (like the default in linux), you can use the -t flag like this:

Code:

---

ping -t 192.168.0.33

---

thnx a lot flat line
