in Slackware
Hi,
How can I configure my wired cable in Slackware to connect to internet.
The person came and setup in WIndows 7 and he configured, IP, gateway, DNS everything as" Obtain Automatically'
. I tried with , netconfig and pppoe-setup [ guess, both are going to do same thing].
I have user name, password and their nameserver.
Don't have gateway address.
BTW, connection is damn good fast than the Wireless USB modem.
So, how can I do the configuration in Slackware?

That means DHCP is used.

Anyway I solved, just rebooted after "netconfig' .0 -

Two things caused the problem,
1. ISP itself turned off for maintenance
2. After some timethey called me to tell that problem is fixed. So , I started my system. Then things started to work. [ I myself mentioned to restart the system in my article, its so funny I forgot what I have told to others.
Thanks Aron and Marc :-)0 -

But, if I plug the cable, after logged in, I really need this command to connect to internet.
Thanks Marc:)0 -
Slackware by default only attempts to connect to the wired connection and use dhcpcd on boot. To setup the detection on normal operation you can use wicd or use the following commands:
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd etho0 -

normal operation means ? Detecting whenever I plugged the UTP cable?0 -

It will not prompt you when a new connection is found,but when a connection is added you will need to manually run those commands.0 -

ok.:) currently I am in office.Not with my system. I will try with those commands and report it here.
So many options/ways are there to achieve a task in Linux. Hard to remember, unless doing those very often:cheer:0 -
