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.

The "Extra options to ifconfig" field is kind of special (read: a
|
|
hack :-):
|
|
|
|
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).

|
|
