Network Configuration screen.

Using Configuration Files

Follow the steps below to edit the network configuration files and set your computer IP

address.

1 Assuming that you have only one network card on the computer, locate the

ifconfig-

eth0

configuration file (where eth0 is the name of the Ethernet card). Open the

configuration file with any plain text editor.

• If you have a dynamic IP address, enter

dhcp in the BOOTPROTO= field. The following

figure shows an example.

• If you have a static IP address, enter static in the BOOTPROTO= field. Type

IPADDR= followed by the IP address (in dotted decimal notation) and type NETMASK=

followed by the subnet mask. The following example shows an example where the

static IP address is 192.168.1.10 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

2 If you know your DNS server IP address(es), enter the DNS server information in the

resolv.conf file in the /etc directory. The following figure shows an example where

two DNS server IP addresses are specified.

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

USERCTL=no

PEERDNS=yes

TYPE=Ethernet

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes
