Static IP address information in Slackware 12

To find information about a static IP address in Slackware 12:

1. Open /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
Find the IP address, gateway, and netmask.

2. Open /etc/resolv.conf
There will be information about the nameserver(s).

You can restart the network using the command
/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 restart

This came in helpful, because I wanted to set up my static IP in Vector 6.0, needed to pull the information from my Slackware installation, but was unable to reboot my computer. I was able to enter the information using Netconf in the Control Center but did not have a way to restart the network.
