B/c so many folks warn against those for noobs like me.



What's this last one do?

Also, is this a "permanent" change (until I manually change it back), or will it revert whenever the device turns off/on?

*Edit* by the way, I tried it, and it didn't work--x terminal wouldn't even do the 1st line of code, again.

Thank you for any more help.
You have to be root (e.g. type "sudo gainroot"). Otherwise ifconfig is not in your path (you could type /sbin/ifconfig to solve that), plus without being root you may not be allowed to change some settings.
