Lines: 23 Distribution: world Message-ID: <369p74$dq7@agate.berkeley.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: icsib86.icsi.berkeley.edu Ho can I set my IP-adress during runtime? Until now it was fixed in /etc/hosts but I have to use a different IP-adress when I scwitch to one of the other lines. I'm quiet confused about all the /etc-files anyway. Can someone tell me what they are for and when they are read? ~~~~ /etc/myname my hostname /etc/hosts host,gateway,nameserver /etc/host.conf ? /etc/resolv.conf nameserver /etc/netstart ? Did anyone manage to automate SLIP with dynamic IP-assignement? Hope for any comments Johannes
