I just googled and found: ifconfig eth0 <number provided> Is it as simple as just doing this??
If yes! do I need to undo this when I am finished?? John.
Hello all, I am trying to update my system and went to an internet cafe to use their network. However, they told me I need to add their ip address (Which they gave to me on a written note) I have never had to do this before and have no idea how to do it in Ubuntu. Will some one please help with this? Regards John
There are simpler ways to do this on Ubuntu. I can't remember the exact menu location but on my Debian (which is similar) it is Places, Administration, Networking and you can do it all using the GUI with a minimum of fuss.
