Where is the config file to setup my nic card for a fixed IP

I been using RH for the longest time and I have trouble locating the files I need in knoppix, in order to hook up my second computer to my first computer that will act as a ateway.

help? :oops:

The file /etc/network/interfaces is where your settings for the card are contained example file below:

For Static settings

Code:

---

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

 # The loopback interface
 auto lo
 iface lo inet loopback

 # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation
 # (network, broadcast and gateway are optional)
 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.0.1
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.254

Your nameservers settings would be in the file /etc/resolv.conf example file:

Code:

---

search wolf
 nameserver 192.168.1.10
 nameserver 192.168.1.34

---

You only need the one nameserver line the search of your domain and the extra nameserver are not necessary.

The hostname for your computer is set in the file /etc/hostname and that is just one line with the hostname for your computer example:

Code:

---

HappyTux

You would edit these files as root and put in your required settings once you have made the changes /etc/init.d/networking restart as root in a console window to re-start your networking with the new settings or just start if the network is already down.
