rh 7.2 network connection



ifconfig usually lives in /sbin, which is probably not in your path ('echo $PATH' if you want to see your path). You can execute it directly by '/sbin/ifconfig', or you can add /sbin to your path 'export PATH=$PATH:/sbin', then execute 'ifconfig'. Its probably best to execute it by '/sbin/ifconfig' because once you logout and login your will have to add /sbin to your path again. 

to add an address to an interface, i believe its just 'ifconfig eth0 inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx'. An alteritive to this is 'netcfg' this is a network configuration utillity that comes with redhat. You must be in X to run it.

good luck.
