Configuring Wired Connection in Slackware[SOLVED]
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.
Check out:

Anyway I solved, just rebooted after "netconfig' .
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 :-)
But, if I plug the cable, after logged in, I really need this command to connect to internet.
Thanks Marc:)
ifconfig eth0 up
dhcpcd etho
normal operation means ? Detecting whenever I plugged the UTP cable?
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.
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:
yeh, this is also working :-) . Thanks Mathew and Marc
