1. config network:
sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces
the configuration:
auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 172.16.9.144 gateway 172.16.9.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 172.16.9.0 broadcast 172.16.9.255
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
2. config dns
sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 124.16.136.254
if /etc/resolv.con does not exists, it will be created here.
if vmware is used,set the network adapter to bridged.
3. Dynamically getting IP configuration
Use the default config in /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo iface lo inet loopback
4. Restart eth0
$ sudo ifdown eth0 $ sudo ifup eth0
