**koselan** · 07-17-2003, 06:03 AM

I have successfully install Knoppix on my HDD.
And now I want to reconfigure my IP address for my LAN Card.

What instruction on linux to configure my IP Address ?

Thanks.

Did you do netcardconfig as root?

How do you connect to the internet?

Thank you for your answer, your code works fine.

When Knoppix starting-up, it has DHCP works automatically so my PC get a IP from DHCP server that use WinGate.
For your information, my PC has 2 way to access internet,
1. Using IP that receive from DHCP server on Wingate or
2. Using static IP address that directly access to main router.

http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Net-HOWTO/x208.html

is the faq I used to set up networking manually on my machine

the only deviation i noticed was that to restart networking you use

/etc/init.d/newroking (followed by star, stop, or restart)

the page explains about ifconfig, route add, /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf as well as other useful topics.

hey if *I* could read through those pages and get the hang of it it can;t eb that hard.

They also have a section on DHP which you said you also run. I haven't played around much with DHCP but check out this section, it might be useful:
