A/UX setting a new IP address
How can I re-run the newconfig command in A/UX so that it prompts me to enter a new IP address and properly set up the network? The old router is gone, so I need to update both the IP address and the gateway. However, when I run newconfig now, it just recompiles the kernel without prompting me for any network settings like it did the first time. I tried using ifconfig to set the new IP address, but it reverts to the old one after a reboot. Is there a way to reset or re-trigger the full network configuration process?
