hey all,
i have a computer with unix.... and i have an hme0 net card on it
i configured it to have an ip address in a local network with ifconfig
and i also went into inet folder to config it there....
my problem is every time i reboot my machine the config is lost and i have to config it again...
anyone knows what can cause this?
Which unix?
just try our fine search function or follow the links on the bottom of this thread... one of them is:
create a file hostname.devicename in etc folder and in it add yor host name
say
# cat /etc/server1.hme0
server1
#
this one is wrong and won't be of any use... it should be:
/etc/hostname.hme0 and in this file is a name that has an ip in /etc/hosts. or you'll insert the ip in the hostname file without using /etc/hosts. also you've to maintain /etc/netmasks if you use a not class A, B or C network for your ip!
