I know that ifconfig does the same thing in Linux as ipconfig does in Windows. My question is, what does IF stand for? I asked my networking instructor and he didnt know. Now I am interested and I cant get it out of my head until I find out

[subdivizion]

Oooohhh, probably the only combination of I and F words I didnt put together

Thanks a ton. And thanks for showing me that site (indirectly even) as it should come in handy

ifconfig is to listen on other IP addresses.

The site you pasted is "Please enter your query in the proper place..."
