A majority of connection settings can be changed from within the Network Settings section of System Settings. To access the Network Settings, go to → and then select Network Settings at the lower left of the window.
No matter the connection you are using, the network settings will usually be configured the same. Most users are probably familiar with Windows networking and seeing terms such as IP address, gateway address, netmask address, and DNS addresses. They are still the same in Kubuntu however there are two extra settings that are common with Linux systems, network address and broadcast address however these extra settings are not necessary for basic home networking and connecting to the Internet.
Prosím, zvoľte z nasledovných pre stručný úvod do každého z nastavení.
Príklad 1. Nastavenie sieťového rozhrania v Kubuntu
# eth0 je nastavené, aby automaticky získalo svoju adresu (DHCP) auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp # eth1 má nastavenú vlastnú adresu (statickú) auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.1.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.1.1
An IP address is a unique identifier, commonly known as the computer's address, that is used in communicating between other computers on a network and the Internet. There are two versions of IP addressing, IPv4 which is the most widely used and the oldest, and IPv6 which is newer. IPv6 was created to cure the fact the world was running out of IP addresses.

Sieťová maska alebo maska podsiete je adresa, pomocou ktorej sa veľké siete rozdeľujú na menšie podsiete.
DNS (Domain Name System) prekladá názvy domén ako aj názvy počítačov na IP adresy. Toto je systém, ktorý preloží www.kubuntu.org na skutočnú IP adresu webstránky.
