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.

En IP adresse er en unik identifikator, bedre kjent som datamaskinens adresse, som blir brukt i kommunikasjonen mellom andre datamaskiner i et nettverk og på Internett. Det finnes to versjoner av IP adressering, IPv4 som er den mest brukte og den eldste, og IPv6 som er en nyere versjon. IPv6 ble laget for å forhindre at verden skulle gå tom for IP adresser.
A gateway address is also known as the default gateway. The gateway serves as an access point to another network and a majority of the times would be your service provider in order to gain access to the Internet. A gateway IP address looks the same as an IP address.
En nettverksmaske adresse eller subnett maske er en adresse som alltid tillater splitting for et stort nettverk gjennom små subnett nettverk.
DNS (Domain Name System) translates domain names as well as computer hostnames to IP addresses. This is the system that will translate www.kubuntu.org into the websites actual IP address.
