Server IP

[TekZonz]

Hello,

I was looking around but was not able to find an answer to my simple (at least I hope) question.

What command will tell me the server IP on the only network it's connected.

And secondly, how do I manually set IP/DNS on my ubuntu server?

Thank you in advance for your help,

TekZone

route -n

Hoary has a bunch of gnome-admin tools for this, don't remember how that was on warty. Anyway, you can set ip adress of network interfaces like a ethernet card, with ifconfig. See man ifconfig for details. DNS is set up in /etc/resolv.conf with "nameserver $ipofnameserver" lines. To run your own DNS server, you install somehting like bind9.

Just use the gnome network manager located in computer -> sys confg -> networking

then in the network box go to Properties

That should do it

And if you want to see you ip use Network Tools located in App -> sys tools -> network tools

Thank your for your help, I shall check all this out.

@Myles3, this is going to pretty difficult since it's a "custom" install and does not have Gnome installed.
