then basic host information
-Put in the host name (whatever you have chosen or been given or
leave it as is)
-Go to adaptor 1 by clicking the tab at the top of the dialog box
-enter primary name and domain
-and aliases if any
-and IP address
-and netmask if needed
-Now the device should be eth0 for the first network card
-select the appropriate kernel module from the drop-down list...
If you do

go to www.linuxdoc.org and check the linux ethernet howto
