Re: how do i configure network settings?
There's a new program in unstable, netconf. You can go through the initial setup again with dpkg-reconfigure base-config. The manual way to set things up is to edit /etc/network/interfaces Make sure the following is in there: auto lo eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp then run /etc/init.d/networking restart This oughta get your card up On Sat, 10 Feb 2001 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: the kernel in the potato install didn't detect my 3com mini pci(3c556B) ethernet card on my T20, so i compiled the 2.4.1 kernel and now it detects it. but the problem is i still can't get on the net because i didn't configure networking during install... so what program can i run to configure networking? and how do i configure the network when the network gives my dynamic ips? __ Get your own FREE, personal Netscape Webmail account today at http://webmail.netscape.com/ -- I can be immature if I want to, because I'm mature enough to make my own decisions.

Please set your mail client to wrap at 72 characters. Just edit - /etc/network/interfaces Take a look at man interfaces It should look something like - iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.10.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.10.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 gateway 192.168.10.1 depending on your configuration. Then run - # /etc/init.d/networking restart That should do it. hth, kent -- From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of The Panther - R. M. Rilke

I run woody with kernel 2.4.1, using DHCP. My configuration file of network interface is following. --- begin --- $ cat /etc/network/interfaces # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # The loopback interface # automatically added when upgrading auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian installation # automatically added when upgrading auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp --- end --- When you edit your configuration file, you should restart your network. $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Susumu Takuwa

Add to /etc/network/interfaces: iface eth0 inet dhcp hostname ??? Assuming the 3com module is loaded ifup eth0 should bring up the iface. Check it with ifconfig eth0. -- ~~~
