If you have a network card and have not already configured your
networking information, you now have the opportunity to configure
networking (as shown in Figure 15-17).
Choose your device type and whether you would like to configure using
DHCP. If you have multiple Ethernet devices, each device will keep the
information you have provided. You may switch between devices, for
example eth0 and eth1, and the information you give will be specific to
each device. If you select Activate on boot, your
network interface will be started when you boot. If you do not have DHCP
client access or are unsure as to what this information is, please
contact your network administrator.
Next enter, where applicable, the IP Address,
Netmask, Network, and
Broadcast addresses. If you are unsure about any of
these, please contact your network administrator.

| | Even if your computer is not part of a network, you can enter a
hostname for your system. Take this opportunity to enter in a name,
if you do not, your system will be known as
localhost.

Finally, enter the Gateway and Primary
DNS (and if applicable the Secondary DNS
and Ternary DNS) addresses.
