inorder to configure ethernet card on debian systems we modify the file
/etc/networks/interfaces
the lines should look something like this
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address (static ip address of the m/c)
network (your n/w address)
netmask (n/w netmask)
broadcast (n/w broadcast address)
gateway (n/w gateway address)
after you edit the file in above manner
restart networking services by typing following command
/etc/init.d/networking restart
> also i don't know how 2 change the screen res frm 800x600 to
> 1024x768
to change screen resolution.
run command "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86"
answer all the questions choose appropriate resolution when asked for.
and then restart your display manager using command
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
^^^ if you are using "gnome" use "gdm" if you are using "kde"
use "kdm" instead if you are using "some thing" else try with "xdm"
You will have to be root to do all the above.
<WARNING>
make sure you are logged out before giving the last command. other wise you
will loose all the windows that are open as this command will restart your x
session.
</WARNING>
Hope this solves your problem
