hi crew
i'm trying to get my internet connected(T1 network ethernet connection) to work . during my initial intallation it told me if i use dpkg-reconfigure ethenconf then i could rerun that component of the installation and set it up. however, when i type this it says that there is no such reconfigure option here. i don't think i'm typing it wrong. could someone tell me how i can set up my connention throught the terminal as i don't have any xserver up yet.
cheers

yeah
i'm in root but i would have thought that ethencof would be installed already. is there a way i can find out if it is or not? is there a way ii can install it without being connected, and prehaps is there a way i can get connected without ethenconf. kinda tricky. i'm useing a distro call demudi which is debian but narrowed down somewhat.

Etherconf indeed is a nice program. Run "dpkg -l etherconf" to see if it's installed (the option is small L, not big i). If etherconf is not installed, this document should give you info on configuring your network connection manually:
LOL, this is where the "configure-debian" utility becomes handy. If you cannot remember the exact name of the package that you want to reconfigure via DebConf, configure-debian will show it to you.
