Connecting to the Net
 
I have DSL and I use a static IP address. I am running Debian. How can I configure my Linux computer to connect to the internet? I have not been able to find any setting in KPPP dialer to adjust, and I do not know how to configure my network card to my internet settings. Thanks!

Welcome to LQ,

Are you using an ethernet router or something else?

LinuxNewBeeSwrm 03-06-2005 12:00 PM
Yes, I'm using a router.

Assuming you have the linux machine connected to the router and it has dhcp enabled you should just need to run "dhclient" as root.

LinuxNewBeeSwrm 03-06-2005 12:51 PM
Ok, I found the dhclient script file. How can I run the script?

david_ross 03-06-2005 12:53 PM
Open up a terminal "su -" to become root then type "dhclient"
