[SLUG] IP Config


Hey it the NFS guy again with some more questions.
I installed RedHat 6.1 and i attempted to configure the NIC but I ran into some problems:

lo          127.0.0.1
eth0      125.125.125.1

I need the address to be 125.125.125.1,  
1st ?ion > What does "lo" mean?

I tried pinging 125.125.125.1 from the Linux machine (ping myself) course that worked.
I then tried pinging RedHat machine from a Windows machine (ip = 125.125.125.2)
and I got no response

Any suggestions?

Please email me at back here and at home > hogan2000@xxxxxxxxx

I am trying to use the RedHat as a server that connects by dial-up to the internet, distributes the internet across the LAN and has space that can be used by the Windows machines on the LAN (NFS).  There is one RedHat server and 5 other windows clients.
