CHANGING IP ADDRESS

[rankar]

I am tring to change the ip address on our server, we are running Slackware 8.0. I edited the files in /etc/rc.d
/rc.inet1 /rc.inet11 /rc.firewall and /etc/hosts.
When I run the command netstat -rn the IP address does not appear in the output. I can ping and telnet to other servers but I can't ping or telnet to the server with the new IP. Any suggestions?

thanks,
Rankar

Do you have the "ifconfig" command on Slackware? If so, this is what you need to use to change the IP address. Do a man ifconfig for details. IBM Certified Confused - MQSeries

If you have the "netconf" command on Slackware? If so, here u can easily change IP address....
You can'ping or telnet to the server with the new IP.
This can be done by installing telnet -server rpms ....
get the following rpm:
telnet-server-0.17-7.rpm
u can easily get it from
