[gobolinux-users] configuration internet access

[Paul Dann]

Hi there,

  If you are connected to a DHCP-enabled network, try the "dhcpcd"
command.  This will cause all network adaptors to request an IP lease
from the DHCP server.  However, I think Gobolinux does this by default
on boot because my server has no problem, so you may need to assign an
IP manually using the following command:

ifconfig eth0 <IP ADDRESS>

(e.g.:  ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2)

  It's a privileged action, so don't forget "sudo" if you need it.

Paul

P.S.:  I'm pretty new myself so I tested the command on my Gobolinux box
over SSH.  I'm so used to SSH now that I forgot it was network driven
and was confused when the connection froze... :D
