basic networking
Here are some really stupid questions, but I'm not really sure what I'm doing, so any help will be appreciated. I'm trying to learn linux and basic networking. I have 2 computers: one has windows and the other I just installed Red Hat 7.1. In the network configuration screen of the Red Hat install, where do I get the IP address, network, broadcast, hostname, gateway & DNS? Can I just make these up? Also, How do I connect the computers? Right now I have the RJ45 from one network card to the other.
Thanks

NAME
pbuilder-uml.conf - configuration file for user-mode-linux port of pbuilder
DESCRIPTION

FORMAT
MY_ETH0=tuntap,,,192.168.0.2
Configures ethernet setting used for booting linux. See how rootstrap boots your system, and copy that.
Specify --eth0=slirp,12345,/usr/bin/slirp-fullbolt to use the slirp connection.
UML_IP=192.168.0.3
IP address to use for guest OS.
This can be set to dhcp for obtaining IP address through DHCP.

The hostname should be available in /etc/hosts so that hostname -f will be able to return the FQDN.

ROOTSTRAP_IMAGESIZE=size-in-megabytes
