>Is there a SIMPLE way to take control of a Fedora "work" workstation from my HOME? Is there a command equivalent to IPCONFIG? >Don F. Cavaiani >IT Manager >Amerequip Corp. Hi Don, I'm working at doing the same thing- I currently SSH from my "work" workstation to my home Fedora machine (during breaks, of course!). I log in with my regular account, and su for anything I require more privileges for. I do not allow root SSH login. For a GUI, I am looking at implementing Cygwin on my Windows machine to establish the equivalent of an RDP session to my Fedora box. From what I understand, it may require a fair amount of firewall config. For ipconfig, Linux has a somewhat comparable command- ifconfig. Ifconfig [interface] will work like an ipconfig /all. If you're looking at something like an ipconfig /release and /renew, you'll probably need to do that through dhclient....I believe the command set is dhclient -r (release) followed by dhclient [interface] (which I believe restarts the dhcp client service and requests a new IP address). Hope this helps. Edward Smith esmith@xxxxxxxxxxx
