>How can I re-configure my network after installing linux?
Well, assuming you're talking about changing the IP address... you need to change a couple of files: /etc/init.d/network - Shell script that sets up your ethernet interface. /etc/hosts - file that holds the IP's of "well-known" hosts... itself being one of those. :) /etc/networks - You probably don't NEED to change this... but it can't hurt. You'll need to reboot after you change all of this. - Joe
