[ILUG] Any solution to NIC settings problem?

[Smith, Graham - Computing Technician]

Files you will need to edit are as follows

/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/static-routes

a variety of files (depending on your network) in:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/

Once changes are made you will need to run this
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart

That will implement changes made by restarting networking.
Note that you can issue start and stop in that way also:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/network start
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop

Hope that helps - i'm of the opinion that linuxconf is a very
weak utility. Anytime i've ever used it, i have had problems
as a result.... you cant really go wrong by learning command line
methods. 

regards,

G.

Hi,
    Has anybody found any solution to the followign problem in RHL 7.2?
***
 When I make any changes in the network settings using Linuxconf, the
settings do not come into being until i reboot the system! Or atleast please
tell me which files to modify so that I can implement that changes by just
restarting the network service.
