How do I configure the network in JNode?

The network can be configured with dynamic IP address or with a fixed IP address.

Note : To find the name of your network card, just type "ifconfig" and you will get a list of available devices.

Configuring the "loopback" interface
You need to configure the loopback interface for the DNS setup performed by the dhcp to work.

Configuring JNode with a dynamic address

Configure "loopback" as above.
Run the dhcp command followed by the name of the network card. For example:
dhcp eth-pci(0,17,0)
If dhcp fails with an exception that talks about a timeout, try the command again.

Configuring JNode with a fixed IP address

Use the ifconfig command to set your desired IP address. For example:
ifconfig eth-pci(0,17,0) 192.168.0.10
Now, use the route command. For example:
route add 192.168.0.1 eth-pci(0,17,0)
