Thanks ZB

I have patched the server into the Network, but unfortunately fallen at the first hurdle. Although the machine has an Ethernet card in it I have no idea if it is configured or not.

I logged in as root and ran netconfig, which gives hardware / protocol options, but as I'm not sure what the card is, I was wary about messing with the existing configuration. Is there any way of checking without pulling the case apart and yanking the card out? Also once the card is identified how do you insure that is correctly configured and has the right IP address?

Sorry - I know this is all simple stuff, but I don't have a clue.

Thanks a million!
