Hi<br />
<br />
As a relative newbie to Linux I need some advice.<br />
<br />
My computer gets a dynamically IP address when starting up (from my provider, using DHCP). Now I need to specify this IP address in a configuration file used by one of my server daemons.<br />
<br />
The line in question in my config file reads:<br />
client_ip = &quot;123.123.123.123&quot;<br />
<br />
Is there an easy way to change this line so it contains my dynamically assigned IP? Specifying a DNS name is not possible, I really need to use the numerical IP.<br />
<br />
Can anybody help me?<br />
<br />
Thank You!<br />

Setting current IP address in configuration file

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
