I booted to the fedora command shell. I want to open up the Network configuration GUI tool, without making any change to /etc/inititab file and without rebooting.

Thanks

Did you try Ctrl+Alt+F7 first?

"command shell" implies having no GUI

basic:
IP address
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.100 mask 255.255.255.0
Default router
route flush ; route add 0/0 192.168.1.1
DNS server:
echo server 192.168.1.1 >> /etc/named.conf
