which brand of cable is it? I have AT&T and they do
not use DHCP. Its static IP's. Your info should be
on the receipt the installation guy gave you.
Once again, these directions are (probably) only good
for AT&T @home service.
go to the network configuration tab in DrakConf
Enter your computer name in the Host name section.
mine is d642855-a
go to the next tab and make sure that your NIC has an
appropriate module chosen for it. Enter your IP
address and sub net mask.
click quit.
choose the tab called DNS something or other.
enter your 2 DNS addresses in the fields and for the
"Search domain" filed enter the .sttln1.home.com part
of your computers full (d642855-a.sttln1.home.com)
name.
click quit and go to gateway.
enter your gateway IP address and click quit.
it will ask you to apply changes once you try to close
the last box. Say ok but it won't work. You have to
open linuxconf and restart the network service in
there. It should work just fine now.
Good luck!
