need to change ip address

[spatel]

I need to change ip address for my Mandrake server and also the also need to change the DHCP server config for new dhcp scop.

 

Does anyone have detail info on how to change the ip address on the server and also on the DHCP server config?

 

Thanks

The ip for the Mandrake server is easy, you just change it in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (assuming that eth0 is the adapter connected to the network) like this:

DEVICE=eth1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes

 

and then edit /etc/dhcpd.conf accordingly.

 

Or you could do both the easy way in MCC. Open a terminal and su to root and type mcc and choose network and internet and then DrakGw and reconfigure it. Don't choose automatic configuration, but choose manual. That will change both the ip address for the server and change it in dhcp configuration. This is all assuming that when you say Mandrake server, you mean that it is the dhcp server/internet gateway as well. If it is not the dhcp server, it will be a little different and I may be able to come back and help with that.
