Configuring Network in Console

intl99 · 03-12-2004, 09:06 AM

Every other distro of linux has some sort of Network config script for the console, like netconfig in slackware. When I installed Mandrake 9.1 the other day it didnt ask me for any kind of network setting. So my question is does anyone know of a script I can download to help me set the ip? If not where is all the IP and Gateway settings at?

If someone says use ifconfig , how do i set the gateway. I want to set IP's statically. I already have the DNS indormation inputed.

Thank You

I think you can set that up in mandrake control center>Network & Internet.

In a terminal window [ either a true consol, ot a window in your GUI] enter 'drakconnect' [no quotes]. THis will open the Mandrake Internet Connection Utility
