CentOS - Oct 2009 - Bring up Networking in Single User Mode

Hi All,

Can anyone provide advice on how to bring up networking in Single User  
Mode?

I need to specify an IP, mask, gateway and bring up the adaptor so I  
can ssh into another machine to transfer files to it.

ifconfig ethX IP_ADDRESS netmask NETMASK
route add default gw IP_OF_GATEWAY

You could also probably do /etc/init.d/network start

my first post would be for the old fashioned way

# service network start ?

I believe he's onto something there...routable addresses would be
172.16.254.81 thru 172.16.254.94 on 28 bits...and there's that pesky rule
about having your gateway on the same subnet as the node. :)

That's correct. Write down 80, 1 and 240 in binary. With a /28 mask,
your IP address and your gateway are in different subnets.
