Hi, everyone,
I'm new to Ubuntu, so my apologies if this is an idiot question.
I'm trying to configure Ubuntu on a new machine (purchased with
Windows Vista and used Wubi to install Ubuntu). I will also need to
set up some other Linux machines to talk to it.
(1) In the Ubuntu help, I found "Change the name of your computer".
The instructions say to go to System -> Administrator -> Network and
press the Unlock button. But under System -> Administrator, I see
"Network Tools", not simply "Network"; and there's no Unlock button on
the "Network Tools" display. Am I missing something, do I need to
install something else, or ???
(2) The system is connected to the network via a wired Ethernet
connection. Ubuntu automatically configured this connection and
assigned an IP address to it. Suppose that I have a reason to assign
a different specific IP address (i.e. to the IP address that was
assigned to a system we no longer have, in order to reduce the amount
of configuration work I need to do on other systems). Is there a way
to do this, either via some application, or via running ifconfig
manually?
-- thanks, Adam
