Happy new year all
I am trying to configure my network connection on my amd desktop machine, but it wont auto detect and there is no roaming mode (im running a newly installed Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid OS. I have the output from ifconfig:
glenn(a)glenn-amd1:~$ ifconfig -a eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0d:87:35:aa:32 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
Am I right in thinking the Hwaddr in eth0 should be something like 192.168.0.x?
If so, can anyone tell me where the file is in the system so that I can edit it with the correct settings.
The "network-manager" program should automatically take over any network connection that is not configured by the system. If you want it configured the "old" way that debian uses, edit the file /etc/network/interfaces (you can do 'man 5 interfaces' to see the syntax). If there is already an entry in there, then that will be why the network-manager isn't configuring it. John
