Hi all,
I installed the Redhat 7.3 Linux O/S on my computer. To install some toolkits for my application, I have to know the real IP address-RIPA. I cannot see the RIPA on the file /etc/hosts. I use the command: ifconfig eth0, but I get the message: "command not found"

I'm not sure about your "real IP address" situtation, but to find the IP you're using, you'll probably need to run "/sbin/ifconfig" if you're using your normal account. It would be in root's path, so as root you could just do "ifconfig".

ifconfig lives in /sbin, so you have to use sudo or log in as root.
If you want to easily find out your outwards facing IP, just visit: http://www.whatismyip.com/

3Dave, just because ifconfig is in /sbin doesn't mean you have to be root to run it. You can't change stuff as a normal user, but you can at least display information with it. Perhaps you system is locked down more than most.
