ifconfig invalid command? 1

[Faded]

Hey!

I am using DHCP to obtain an ip address, and I want to know what my machine address is as well as the address that the DHCP server has (from the isp). I tried to use ifconfig and traceroute and am getting invalid command errors. What can I do to resolve this?

Thanks, Faded

Try

ipconfig

and

tracert

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

Hi,

They are probably just not in your PATH so use the full path as the command instead - e.g. :

$ /sbin/ifconfig

$ /usr/sbin/traceroute

Those are normal redhat paths - others may vary. Also, 'traceroute' comes in a rpm of the same name so you may have to install that if its not installed already - check with :

$ rpm -q traceroute

You can also look for the location of those programs via the locate command :

$ locate ifconfig

(etc.)

The commands given in the post above are the equivalents on Windows boxes.


Hope this helps
