How did I configure my Linux box to use static IP addressing? With the netcfg command. Here are some screen captures of the end result. (By the way, you may want to check out my Getting a TCP/IP address from a DHCP server page.) Here's how my Macintosh Open Transport TCP/IP control panel is set up. This is what we'll have to duplicate under Linux. I fire up netcfg and start with the first screen, Names. Now I set up static IP address.
