I'm not quite sure what you mean. You're at the machine and it has to
reach the Internet or you have to reach the machine from the Internet?
To find out current ip address
ifconfig -a
Which will give you information on all cards in the machine.
To see the gateway
route -n
Usually the first and last lines both show the gateway. Not sure how it
works on RH3, but 4 and 5 should also show the gateway with
cat /etc/sysconfig/network
For DNS
cat /etc/resolv.conf
will show the settings.
To edit a network connection, you should be able to use
system-config-network-tui
It's a curses based tool, so should show in terminal.
This should enable you to configure interface, gateway and DNS.
If I have misunderstood the question, apologies.
