hi!

i've got to change an IP address on a SCO box. can anyone point me to an idiots guide?

i know nothing about SCO so please be nice, but i am from a Linux background
 
MrTom,

Is this Unixware or Openserver? what version?

If it is Openserver 5.0.x then the "easiest" way is to run netconfig as root, select the interface/protocol you want to change and then select software->modify protocol.
This will then rebuild the kernel when you exit.
Then you have to reboot.

Me i would:
edit /etc/tcp for the new ip/mask
edit /etc/default/tcp
edit /etc/hosts or dns entries
run /etc/tcp stop
run /etc/tcp start

thanks!

i don't actually know what version it is, i'll check tomorrow (told u i was new to this :)

this is one of those scenarios where the box sits in the corner and looks after itself - but all the people who set it up are long gone and noone really knows how to use it :)

i'll study those files and let u know how far i get.

thanks!
