Hmm... I think I've gotten you all to head way past me.

All I want to do it assign this machine an IP Address so I can see it from
other machines on my local network. All the machines connected to my
router/switch have IP's in the 192.168.1.0 family. .1 is my router and each
machine is a .10x (192.168.1.100, .101, .102, etc.) I want this machine to
be addressed as 192.168.1.105, but when I use linuxconf to assign that
number, it tells me that I have to give it other information... Stuff I
don't know.

What am I missing?
