Ethernet adapters are the most common types of networking interfaces in use today. Ethernet is physically connected with a cable to either your broadband modem, router or switch, or another PC. The most common type of cable in use is know as Category-5 (CAT-5). It looks similar to the typical telephone cable, but instead of four wires inside the cable there are eight. For an example of what a CAT-5 cable looks like, please review http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat-5.
A majority of users who are using this form of Ethernet for a connection are not going to run into any problems. If you do in fact run into an issue connecting with this type of connection, the following could potentially assist you in fixing your issue.
From within the Network Connection window there is a tab named Network Interfaces. Hopefully you will see your adapter labeled something like eth0. If there is an issue with the card or the settings, usually the system will automatically disable the card. If the card is disabled, you will see X Disabled under the State column. To enable the device, simply press the
at the bottom of the window. This will open a password dialog in which you enter your username's password. Once you have entered this mode, simply press the button. If there are issues enabling the device, you will be notified with an error. To see the settings of this device, press the button. The window that opens will allow you to manually configure your network settings to match your network.Hlavný súbor, s ktorým bude používateľ pracovať, je /etc/network/interfaces
. Typicky štandardný súbor pripojenia
bude vyzerať nejako takto:
Príklad 4. /etc/network/interfaces
auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet dhcp
Ak plánujete používať KNetworkManager NEMALI BY STE upravovať /etc/network/interfaces
, ak to nie je nevyhnutné na sfunkčnenie vášho internetového pripojenia. Ak upravíte /etc/network/interfaces
ručne, KNetworkManager nebude fungovať.
