After having installed the right kernel and modules, you are ready to tackle the
network configuration. You'll need some information, such as your IP number, name
servers, netmask, gateway, domain. The only thing you can do is
asking your network administrator and hoping to find him in the right mood.
Do not try to connect to the net without the right information. I
strongly suggest to read the Ethernet-HOWTO before starting messing
with the configuration.
<P>
As soon as you have all the nice numbers you need, open the network
configuration tool typing, in a shell window,<tt> netcfg &amp;</tt> and
fill all the fields. When fully configured,
the Network Configurator will show (PPP connections are
treated in the next subsction) something like this (All
the numbers you see here are just examples, do not try to use them
in your configuration!):
