Yes, it is very easy. Ethernet interface configuration is done in the file '/etc/network/interfaces'. You can either set up a static IP in that file or get address information through DHCP -- someone there should be able to tell you what they use. Try 'man interfaces' for a man page describing the format of that file. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
