hi,<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; I want to know which configuration file is read by the 'Service Network restart' &nbsp;command. The S10network script in the /etc/rc5.d directory &nbsp;indicates that it reads ifcfg-eth0 file, but when I edit ifcfg-eth0 file and then restart the network service it is not reading the ifcfg-eth0 file and hence the required Ip address is not assigned to NIC.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please advise on this.....
