Perform some rewording while here. Remove register.hlp, since the code that deals with it was removed nearly 7 years ago.

This screen allows you to set up your general network parameters
|
|
(hostname, domain name, DNS server, etc) as well as the settings for a
|
|
given interface (which was selected from the menu before this screen).
|
|
|
|
PLIP/SLIP users - please read through to the end of this doc!
|
|
|
|
You can move through the fields with the TAB, BACK-TAB and ENTER
|
|
keys. To edit a field, use DELETE or BACKSPACE. You may also use ^A
|
|
(control-A) to go to the beginning of the line, ^E (control-E) to go
|
|
to the end, ^F (control-F) to go forward a character, ^B (control-B)
|
|
to go backward one character, ^D (control-D) to delete the character
|
|
under the cursor and ^K (control-K) to delete to the end of the line.
|
|
Basically, the standard EMACS motion sequences.

|
|
The "Extra options to ifconfig" field is kind of special (read: a
|
|
hack :-):
|
|
|
|
Any valid options to ifconfig can be specified here, so if you need
|
|
to do something "special" to get your interface working, then here
|
|
is the place to do it.
|
|
|
|
If you're running SLIP or PLIP, you also need to use it for specifying
|
|
the remote end of the link (simply type the foreign IP address in).
|
|
In the specific case where you're running PLIP with a Linux host peer
|
|
rather than a FreeBSD one, you also must add the "-link0" flag after the
|
|
foreign address.
|
|
|
|
If you're dealing with an ethernet adaptor with multiple media
|
|
connectors (e.g. AUI, 10BT, 10B2, etc), you can use this field to
|
|
specify which one to use. Examples of valid strings include:
|
|
|
|
"media 10base5/AUI" - Select the AUI port.
|
|
"media 10baseT/UTP" - Select the twisted pair port.
|
|
"media 10base2/BNC" - Select the BNC connector.
|
|
"media 100baseTX" - Select 100BaseT on a 100/10 dual adaptor.
|
|
|
|
If you have a wireless interface and must specify arguments such as a
|
|
WEP key here, you may use something like:
|
|
|
|
"wepmode on wepkey 0xFEEDFACE"
|
|
|
|
When you're done with this form, select OK.
