Hello All: I am trying to change the IP address on a debian system. I am unsin Debian and this is the first time I've installed a linux system. I used the default ip address on the installation disk and now want to change it to my ip for testing. Either there isn't an explanation or I am missing it in the Debian installation documents. I have found the following instructions (below in quotes). Is this the easiest and best way to change an IP address?
using a static IP or a dynamic one from a DHCP server ? man ifconfig in the first case man dhclient in the second HTH, Bob
