ifconfig help (mac osx x86)

[BullsOnParade]

I'm having trouble setting up my network from commandline.

I have ip addy x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.1
subnet 255.255.255.0
DNS1
DNS2

how do i set this up correctly,

ive done:
ifconfig en0 inet x.x.x.x broadcast 1.1.1.1 (as well as x.x.x.255) netmask 255.255.255.0

route add default x.x.x.1

and put the dns into /etc/resolv.conf with the nameserver keyword

Unless there's some reason you need to use the CLI.

...though your commands look OK to me. You want the x.x.x.255 for broadcast, not 1.1.1.1, but otherwise OK. What do you get from an "ifconfig en0" afterwards? And what is it doesn't work about what you did? No Internet, an error message, ...?
