I want ifconfig. I can't find it. It's not on my system, and a tutorial i'm taking says it's a command... anyone know where to get the file?

Ifconfig is a system administration command and can only be run by root user. Take a look in your /sbin and see if you have it there.

ok
tried as root, no good.
tried ./ifconfig, no good..
it is in my /sbin directory.
It won't execute, not as root, not from any directory...
it says command not found, but when i to ls, it shows it there in green

Have you tried /sbin/ifconfig ?

I've had situations wherein I'm logged in as regular user, su to root and have to use /sbin/ifconfig.

When logged in as root, I've only ever had to use ifconfig (omitting the /sbin dir). But hey, you never know...

/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 arp broadcast 192.168.1.255

Ok. Now i have 2 IP addys on one Network card! This is great!

On my way to creating an internet connection sharing thingy...
