Loading the IP, Mask, Gateway and others in Knoppix 6.

[alejo200478]

In the version of Knoppix 6 when the internet is not DHCP then you should load the MAC of the network card.
Is there any way that this version only loads the MAC as does the version 5 and prior? And I just enter the IP, mask, gateway, and servers.
Thanks.

Manual Configuration

You can use one of the above tools or configure the network the old fashioned way as follows:

1. First to use networking on any permanent basis you should setup the file /etc/sysconfig/network similar to the example shown below.
2. Assign an ip address with "ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 up".
3. Tell your machine that a hub is ready for information with the command "route add -net 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0"
4. To contact hosts outside your network if a machine with IP address 192.168.1.1 is the gateway use the command "route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0"
5. If using a dialup connection use the command "route add default ppp0" The word default says if the packet is not for a machine on your local network, send it to the default device.
