Setting IP and gateway on SCO O.S. 5.0.4
ande...@alge.anart.no
DNS adresses on an OpenServer 5.0.4
I have figured out that I have to use 'route' and 'ifconfig' but
the syntax confuses me a bit.
Also, does SCO have a /etc/resolv.conf to put the DNS IPs?

You should use netconfig to set up your machines IP address netmask ..
etc.
The BIND resolver also has a file /etc/resolv.conf and you can put lines
in it to direct DNS queries to a DNS server, but it is better if you set
up your own named server using /etc/named.boot.
Good luck: Joseph

The easiest way to set up the IP address and related netwmask
info is to use the SCO administrative tool. There is a whole
suite of graphical tools you can use. If you are running in
the X environment, become root, and run:
# scoadmin
You will be given a list of various managers that you can use
to setup your system. One of them is the "network configuration
manager". You can also start it directly, instead of going through
the list, by doing:
# scoadmin network
If you are on a console window, you can still run the above
programs, but not everything will work precisely correctly.

I forget if the "scoadmin network" manager allows you to add
a default route. It does in UnixWare 7. I just can't remember
in OpenServer. If it doesn't, use any text editor (vi will do),
and edit (as root), the /etc/tcp file. In the very end of the
file, add a line like so:
route add default 123.45.67.89
Where "123.45.67.8" is replaced by the correct route. Then,
you can manually add a route to the routing table, by doing
the same command, as root, at the unix prompt. Check your
routing table by using "netstat -rn" or "netstat -r".

Yes. OpenServer supports the /etc/resolv.conf client resolver
configurations. Check the "resolver" man page to get the
exact stuff you can put in there. Basics are:
domain foobar.com
nameserver 123.45.67.89
Those are the two basic directives you need to get things
running.
Good luck!
