Network configuration

Hi,

Every time I start my computer I must configure my network with the following commands :

ifconfig eth0 "ip address" netmask "mask"
route add default gw "gateway"

How can I make it be done automatic instead type it every time ?

Thanks in advance.

Every distribution has a GUI application for doing that permanently.

To do that from the command line every time, you could try:

1. adding those commands to rc.local in /etc
2. adding those commands to a script in your home directory and executing it whenever you wanted
3. adding those commands to .bashrc in your home directory and assigning a command to the series of statements
