Editing Network Settings (section)

== Setting a static IP (xterm) ==
Groovix network settings can be configured using the "Network Configuration" option in the ctrl-alt-g menu, or from the command line using the command <font class="code">nano /etc/network/interfaces</font> and editing the following text:

<div class="dashed-box">
auto lo<br />
iface lo inet loopback<br />
iface eth0 inet static<br />
address ''x.x.x.x''<br />
netmask ''x.x.x.x''<br />
gateway ''x.x.x.x''<br />
auto eth0
</div>
<div style="clear: left"></div>

''Use the proper IP addresses in place of each x.''


Log out and back in again before trying a test search on google.com in Firefox; if a timeout occurs, double check the settings and try again. On some hardware (especially wireless) it may be necessary to reboot after changing network parameters. Once the workstation can browse web pages in Firefox, choose "Reboot the machine" from the [[Groovix Menu]] so your machine can be configured by the [[Groovix NetCustomization]] System.
