Thanks James, helpful tip. I figured out how to get the text version ofyast to run so I used that to change the IP address, subnext andgateway. I can ping the new address OK now. VNC still seems to be a nogo though, I can't connect to the VNC server (if it IS running) on theLinux partition.

I *think* my problem is that I set the virtual Ethernet and the Linux

still doesn't (but I had nothing else to go on...).  So I need to figure
out how to change the Linux addresses from the command line.

to configure the first ethernet adapter with IP address 10.0.0.1 andnetmask 255.255.255.0 use the following command (replace with theappropriate IP addresses):


ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255

The second ethernet adapter is eth1, the third is eth2, etc.
