Ummm... no offense Don, but if you're in Chapter 5 in the "Definitive" Guide to CentOS and are setting up web servers and so forth, and still need to ask incredibly basic questions like "How do I know what my IP address is", perhaps that book is not as great a learning tool as it appears to... It's kind of difficult to work with network services if you don't know how to find your own IP address... As Jim said, ifconfig will tell you. You'll see at least 2 entries, assuming you have a working network connection... lo (localhost) which will be 127.0.0.1 and perhaps an eth0... ethX is the device you want... you can also check locally if you're running Apache by loading the browser on your server and pointing it to http://localhost or 127.0.0.1 Cheers, Jeff ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
