I saw this on the screen.. something like
213k5jhq9w8fgysahiodrfh8.hawaii.rr.com

> >>echo '/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
> >>"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")' >> /etc/sysconfig/network

this part, however seemed to send everything within the single quotes, i.e.
/bin/ipcalc --silent --hostname $(/sbin/ifconfig eth0 | sed -n -e
"s/^.*addr://g" -n -e "s/ Bcast.*//p")
into the /etc/sysconfig/network file.
i then tried typing it manually (before I just cut and pasted into an
executable file and ran it) but it gave me a prompt like this   >
Maybe I typed it in wrong?

thanks for your help Ray, & sorry for the delayed responses
