us mac folk LOVE those guis.

until you find out how much more power and flexibility there is
in a textual configuration. edit those puppies from sri lanka, no
gui needed!

	# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

	iface lo inet loopback

	iface eth0 inet static
		address 192.168.1.1
		netmask 255.255.0.0
		network 192.168.1.0
		broadcast 192.168.1.255

	iface eth1 inet static
		address my.ip.addr.here
		netmask 255.255.255.0
		network my.isp.subnet.here
		broadcast my.isp.subnet.0
		gateway my.isp.subnet.router
	# or maybe
	# iface eth1 inet dhcp
	#	-- other possibilities...

man interfaces
