i hope u all have seen my previous mail, regarding the detection of the ethernet card while installing knoppix. sorry, i cudn't include all the details at that time, was in a hurry.
so here's the backgnd: i installed knoppix on my project comp in the comp lab of my college. the installation being in german, i cudn't configure the ethernet card. later, after the installation was complete, i ran "kudzu", it detected the ethernet card (the o/p of kudzu -p has been given in the previous mail) & said it has configured it.
i use rhl 7.3 at my home, & have never used a debian distro. so i've got no idea as 2 what cmds r 2 b used 2 configure the static ip addrs & the gateway addrs. (in rhl, a simple "setup" cmd, ran as the root, works the magic). also plz let me know if ne other thing needs 2 b done 2 configure the ethernet card.
also i don't know how 2 change the screen res frm 800x600 to 1024x768
ne help wud b greately appreciated. thanx!

i had configured my n/w card on FreeBSD. There u have to do all the config by hand plz visit http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/config-network-set up.html it may be help for you
If i remember, the command for adding gateway is ifconfig add default IP_OF_GATEWAY

Surely, you meant /etc/X11/XF86Config , right?

ummm.. I use the SVGA server which uses /etc/XF86Config maybe the file depends on the version of XFree86

the static ip
addrs & the gateway addrs. (in rhl, a simple "setup"
cmd, ran as the
root,
edit ur /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file add GATEWAY="0.0.0.0" it will automatically find out ur default gateway "setup" doesnot allow u to set the gateway as 0.0.0.0 or *.*.*.*
setup only allows u to set a gateway whose ip address belongs to ur subnet say if ur ip address is 192.168.*.* it wont allow u to set ur gateway as 202.*.*.*
manually editing the file helps

Hi,
We use debian distro extensively.
& the gateway addrs. (in rhl, a simple "setup" cmd, ran as the root, works the magic). also plz let me know if ne other thing needs 2 b done 2 configure the ethernet card.
inorder to configure ethernet card on debian systems we modify the file /etc/networks/interfaces
the lines should look something like this auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address (static ip address of the m/c) network (your n/w address) netmask (n/w netmask) broadcast (n/w broadcast address) gateway (n/w gateway address)
after you edit the file in above manner restart networking services by typing following command /etc/init.d/networking restart
also i don't know how 2 change the screen res frm 800x600 to 1024x768
to change screen resolution. run command "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86" answer all the questions choose appropriate resolution when asked for. and then restart your display manager using command /etc/init.d/gdm restart ^^^ if you are using "gnome" use "gdm" if you are using "kde" use "kdm" instead if you are using "some thing" else try with "xdm"
You will have to be root to do all the above.
<WARNING> make sure you are logged out before giving the last command. other wise you will loose all the windows that are open as this command will restart your x session. </WARNING>
Hope this solves your problem
