how to use external router?
Greetings All,
I am coming to Debian after using SUSE for a couple of years because I want to easily update packages. I am very used to the YAST program to help setup things.
I have a cable modem and a D-Link 614+ router that work fine in SUSE and WinXP. I would like to use that on my Debian Box but how do I set up Debian to use my gateway of 192.168.0.1 (D-link router)? Where do I setup that my eth0 as being 192.168.0.6/255.255.255.0 on my LAN?
Sorry for such newbie questions. I have poked around the /etc/ directory and even ran an "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.6 netmask 255.255.255.0 -up at a root command prompt but it returned something like "ifconfig command not recognized."
Any help is much appreciated.
Jeff
