Very Computer

Thanks for your help!!!

ifconfig eth0 999.999.999.999

(replacing the 999's with valid addresses, obviously.)
Then try to ping one of your other boxes. If you get nothing, or
especially if you get a message saying the network was unreachable, type
'route'.

look at what is shown; try a 'man route' to help you understand it.
Then try this:
route add -net 999.999.999.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth0
and ping again. If it works, you need to adjust your logon scripts
(actually, runlevel scripts) to reflect this. The easiest way to
accomplish this is to use linuxconf; otherwise, examine the files in
/etc/rc.d/init.d; and don't forget to read the
/usr/doc/HOWTO/NET-3-HOWTO, and other relevant HOWTO's.

]It should be no problem to set up a static IP for your box; just don't
]overlap the other boxes' IPs. If you use linuxconf, it will let you set
]your static IP under networking, otherwise use something like
]
]ifconfig eth0 999.999.999.999
