net — display or set network settings

SYNOPSIS

net show
net [set] (gw | mask | ip | essid | adhoc) val
net dns (rehash | get | load) val

DESCRIPTION

Command	Subcommands	Description
[set]	gw mask ip essid adhoc	If the optional set command is specified, set the gateway, netmask, IP address, ESSID, or adhoc to the value specified by val. Otherwise, just show the current value.
dns
	rehash	Reload static hostnames from the file specified in val.
	get	Report the IP address of the hostname specified in val.
	load	Load IP address/hostname information from the file specified in val. The file should be in the same format as an /etc/hosts file.

There is another application, net(tools) , which allows you to change between DHCP (default) and a static IP address. This application also reports the same information as net in a more user-friendly form.

EXAMPLES

Discover the IP address of this machine:

lsh% net ip
ip: 192.168.0.238

Discover the IP address of a particular host (defined in /ramfs/etc/hosts or loaded explicitly using net dns load ):

lsh% net dns get localhost
127.0.0.1
lsh% net dns get blue
192.168.0.237

Load the IP address/hostname pairs from the file myhosts:

lsh% cat myhosts
192.168.0.123   chopin
111.222.111.237 monet
lsh% net dns load myhosts
lsh% net dns get chopin
192.168.0.123

Set the ESSID (extended service set identifier) to savaJe :

lsh% net set essid savaJe

Enable adhoc access using an 802.11b wireless networking card:

lsh% net set adhoc true

lsh% net set adhoc false
