Linux Network Settings

The instructions for setting up boot-time DHCP vary dramatically

by distribution, so you may want to refer to your particular

version's documentation.

Note:

If you have other network cards installed, you will need to pick

distinct Ethernet identifiers for each (eth0, eth1, eth2, etc.). If you

select an identifier other than eth0 for your ADSL Ethernet, use

that identifier throughout.

For RedHat

Edit or create /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so

that it contains the following three lines:

DEVICE=eth0

ONBOOT=yes

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

For SuSE

Edit the file /etc/rc.config; search for the variables

NETCONFIG, NETDEV_0, and IFCONFIG_0.

Set them as follows (see the instructions in rc.config):

NETCONFIG="_0"
