Hi all.
I am used to work on Network Interface Cards by editing /etc/network/interfaces. Ok so far. I realized that I actually DO NOT know of any command line tool to help out with the problem. DOH!
I recently realized this since i bumped on a "problem" after installing a server without configuring the NIC in the OS Installation phase. I said "oh well" I will reconfig later when all is up and running. One reason for this is that i was in a different place from the one the server has to be installed in, and I had no clue of the info about the LAN it should be configured into.
So I install Debian then restart and do stuff. Later on I had to reconfig the NIC, obviously, with the right config it was given to me.
i said "oh mamma, i wish i had a cmd line tool to dpkg-reconfigure networking".
So, is there a dpkg-reconfigure which restarts networking all over from scratch. Or a tool I can use?
Thanks ALOT to any hint-er!

Strangely, the admin forgot to mention that he's using gnome.
For kde, apt-get install kdenetwork and then go in the menus.

I do it with vi and the man pages are clear
man interfaces
man resolv.conf

Yes, that's clear.
But what I ment is that I use vi and manpages too! And usually do not use GUI on servers, which are remote anyways with tcp 6000 well shut, of course. I just was wondering if there is any tool like RedHat has, say "netconfig", which basically brings up a text based GUI.
Of course I use vi and manpages, which are perfectly clear. Buy my question was different
