How do I change IP addresses in command mode...
How do I change IP addresses in command mode? i need to assign custom (non DHCP) addresses from the command line. Actually I also need to know how to change the subnet mask, the gateway and the primary, secondary, ... dns servers.

man ifconfig
man route

We need to know specifically which unix system you are using. "uname -a" should tell you.

Running command like route and ifconfig can change things now, without a reboot.

Also we need to know if you want the changes to persist after a reboot. If so, this involves changes to the startup scripts.

The dns stuff is usually in /etc/resolv.conf.

Yes i'd like changes to be persistent, and i am now running fedora core 1, but i'll post the kernel version later because i am planning to install freeBSD on another machine (just to learn)

Seeing as Fedora Core is (basically) a follow on from Red Hat, my response to the post
here about setting up persistent networking configuration on RedHat AS should help you out.

As Perderabo points out dns is configured in /etc/resolv.conf
