How do I setup my network on Kubuntu?

Question

I just downloaded the ISO some hours ago, and partitioned it on my hard drive. I am using an ethernet card on a LAN on my windows 2000 partition. I want to be able to get on the internet from the Kubuntu partition.

Answer 1

Ethernet should really "just work"

check your /etc/network/interfaces file: it should look something like this:

#eth0 main

auto eth0

iface eth0 inet dhcp

#wlan0 wireless (if you have one)

auto wlan0

iface wlan0 inet dhcp

*******

Make sure you don;t have any stray "#'s" commenting out your main configurations.

if everything is h****y dory in the /etc/network/interfaces file, hit it with

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

you should be up in no time.
