[Novalug] resolved : Ubuntu 8.04 inet access problem

[Norman Bird]

I finally found the right formula for setting my ip address in the eth0:

sudo ifconfig down (wipes everything of the device clean and clears tables)

sudo ifconfig eth0 192xxxx.. netmash 255.xxxx... up
sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1

thats the formula that works for me.

resolved, thanks all

Norm
