UNIX IP Address question
Good morning,

I am brand new to using Unix so forgive me for my ignorance. I am using FreeBSD and am trying to figure out how to change my IP address. Sorry for the stupid questions but I am learning so please bear with me.

Thank you,
Tommy

i don't know BSD... but try the command "ifconfig".

also trying a well known search engine with the words "bsd change ip" came back with this as first link:

For IP4
Code:
ifconfig XXY inet 123.123.123.123 netmask 255.255.255.0

Where XX is your interface {may be 2 or 3 characters, something like rl, for example} and Y is number of interface you want to configure {Will be 0 if you have only 1 network card}

see
man 8 ifconfig

Examine the output of 'dmesg' to figure out how your O.S. calls it's NIC. On NetBSD you must specify the interface. It took me some time to figure out which "code" NetBSD uses for my NIC.
