Ways to config
-To specify loopback or localhost
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
-To specify first ethernet card(eth0) to obtain IP auomatically from a dhcp server
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth0
-To specify first ethernet card(eth0) to have a fixed IP
iface eth0 inet static
address 172.16.0.1
netmask 255.255.252.0
gateway 172.16.3.254
auto eth0
For dns, use this command:
sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
Then add
nameserver y.y.y.y where y.y.y.y is dns server ip
You can also force first ethernet card(eth0) to obtain automatically IP from a dhcp server at that moment by using command:
sudo dhclient eth0
To display server IP, use command:
ifconfig
To be specific, use command:
ifconfig eth0
