Ok I have a local network setup at my house, I have a linux box, I want to connect to it through SSH. The questions I have are -How do I find out the IP of that specific computer. -What port do I connect through after I find the ip.
On the linux box type in: ifconfig It will spit out a bunch of lines related to eth0, etc. Look for the line that says something like: inet 192.168.2.13 netmask 0xffffffc0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 That first set of numbers following 'inet' (in this case: 192.168.2.13) is the IP address. SSH runs on port 22.
ok well my linux box can't get internet for some reason. I went into system administration and went ot networks, It detects my ethernet cable I go to activate it and it says /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions: line78 no such file or directory.
