I typed in the string: ifconfig hme0 10.50.90.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 and it said 'ifconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command. I typed it in DOS. Did I do something wrong?

Thanks,
Isabelle

If you just want to change the netmask, you can do this:
ifconfig hme0 netmask 255.255.255.0
