Need help to define network in slackware 10.1

Hello,
first of all i want to apoligize for my bad english :P

i have home network that each one of the computers (i have 4) have windows xp except one that has linux slackware 10.1.
in the settings of the windows xp's PC the radio button of "Obtain IP Address Automaticly" is checked and they all working just find (internet, file sharing etc.).
i would like to know how to define my linux network card's setting to be able to operate in the network.

i am completely new with linux so i will need as full as possible instructions.

Thanks for all the helpers and sorry again for my english :P

welcome to LQ!!!

=)

you configure this in your /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf file...

it should look like this:

Code:

# Config information for eth0:

IPADDR[0]=""

NETMASK[0]=""

USE_DHCP[0]="yes"

DHCP_HOSTNAME[0]=""

Thank you sooo much!

Thank you!! :-)
It is working!! :P

with slackware, you can also run the program netconfig to configure network settings.
