1. Introduction

The NetWinder is equipped with two ethernet connections: 10BaseT and 10/100BaseT. The IP Configuration dialog allows you to configure the network and set the network parameters, such as hostname, domain, IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server. There are three sections in this dialog: Identification, IP Address and DNS Server.

1.1 How to access the IP Configuration dialog

You can view your current network settings by accessing the IP configuration dialog in read only mode. From the K menu select

Settings / Network / Ethernet

If you want to make changes to your network settings, from the K menu select:

System / Administration / Network Settings

A small window will appear prompting you for the superuser password. If you do not enter the correct password, a message tells you that the login failed, and asks you to press Enter to continue. When you press enter, the Netwrok settings process is terminated.
