Netconfig is easy though. I'm assuming yours is a home machine. First screen: Enter Hostname Give your computer a name; whatever you want. I name my machines after monster movie characters: frankenstein, godzilla, etc. Second Screen: Enter Domainname: If this is a home machine, localhost is good enough. Third Screen: Setup IP address Tricky here. Depends on how you're connecting to the Internet Straight from DSL or Cable Modem? Running through a router like Linksys? Either way, pick DHCP for now. Dialup? Hit loopback. After the screen quits, cd to /etc/rc.d: Type at a command prompt: Code:
. rc.inet1 type ifconfig at a command prompt and you should have something like this: eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:98:00:B7:87 inet addr:192.168.1.3 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1272 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:1392 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:271680 (265.3 Kb) TX bytes:181580 (177.3 Kb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:1652 (1.6 Kb) TX bytes:1652 (1.6 Kb) I hope this helps you out. |

wes seems to be it, try that on next screen after picking DHCP in netconfig and see what happens. If not, I don't know. You'll have to call the ISP and hope there's a Linux geek on the other end or you can get connected to one. On a side note, you really should cut those IP addresses out of your post. |

I'm using slackware. |
for requesting ip from dhcp server on slackware,
use dhcpcd [interface] --> dhcpcd eth0 , for auto u can make a script and put it to /etc/rc.local. i can't get thing well too with netconfig / rc.inet1 script. |
