How to get rid of DCHP ?

Hi all:-

I am using Sun8 Intel PC in a network and have IP allocated by DHCP. Now I got a static IP and want to configure my PC for this new IP and disable DHCP. How can I do that ?

Thanks in advance

You will need to reconfigure your NIC using the "ifconfig" command. If you are unsure about this command, then the man page offers great information.

hope this helps.

Hi,
login as root type command "unconfig" it will ask you are you sure say yes, the system will reboot and follow the instruction and then do not enable DHCP.
good luck
