thanx...
It really should "just work" out of the box. Usually cable connections usually
use DHCP (Dynamic Connections), and that is what the default network settings are.
Another answer was to read RedHat's documentation. Also good advice. This is
because Scientific Linux is just RedHat Enterprise Linux recompiled.
The Redhat documentation is at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/#RHEL5
Networking
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/pt-network-related-config.html
Networking configuration specifically is at
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-networkscripts.html
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-network-config.html
After going through the documentation, if you have some more specific
questions, please let us know.
