Re: [PLUG] changing IP address

["Steven M. Cherry" <smc@cherrys.org>]

Reboot?!?!?

Alternate process:  Run linuxconf, (sudo /sbin/linuxconf), go to
networking/client tasks/host name and IP network device.

Make sure you have a decent host name, then click on the "Adaptor 1"
tab, switch to manual, and enter the static ip address that you want.

Accept the changes, <file><Act/Changes> then exit.

Go into /etc/rc.d and find the symlinks to dhcpdcd, and remove them
so that dhcpdcd is no longer automatically started.

Then:

sudo /sbin/ifdown eth0
sudo /sbin/ifup eth0

/sbin/ifconfig to verify that everything looks good.

And then /don't/ re-boot.
