Re: Network Configuration

[Nathan <basha@disappeared.net>]

First you need to find out what brand of card you have, then setting it up for a static IP is pretty easy.

once u have found out what card you have and installed it in the kernel then go to /etc/network and edit interfaces, it should look a little like this:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
                address       192.168.0.1        <<-=- change to you static IP
                netmask    255.255.255.0  <<-=- the netmask for your WAN
                network     192.168.0.0        <<-=- change to your network address
                broadcast    192.168.0.255    <<-=- your getting the picture
                gateway      192.168.0.10        <<-=- the IP of the computer that handles the Internet connection

now this may not be what u want but this is sort of the general idea of how i did it :o)
