This is probably something really easy, but being a Linux newbie, I need to ask:
How do you change the IP address for eth0? I am using Mandrake 9. Going into the control center, I can see that the address is wrong, but it won't let me change it from there. Please help....or else I guess I'll just have to go back to Redmond-based products.

from newbie to newbie.
go to the console.
go to etc\sysconfig\network-scripts
vu ifcfg-eth0

press i or insert so you can change the ip.

press the esc to exit the insert part.
then pres :wq (write , quit)

and you are done.
