If my previous post gave you an opinion that configuring networking on Linux is a head spinning task, im sorry; the Network Administraton Tool that is bundled with most of the newer linux distro is there just to make this task easy for you. You should be able to launch the GUI based tool from the 'System' drop down menu and in RedHat the system-config-network command can be used.
The following types of interfaces can be configured using the network administraton tool.
- Ethernet
- ISDN
- modem
- xDSL
- token ring
- CIPE
- wireless devices
- device aliases and profiles
Points worth a note:
- 'Export' your original networking configuration before editing them, so you can recover from a mistake by importing back the settings. Most of the network administrator tools provide this option.
- 'Save' your settings after editing and 'Activate' the interface after they are created.
- When interface aliases are configured, DHCP will not work with the interface and its aliases
