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.

• Run ifconfig as follows:
  ifconfig loopback 127.0.0.1 255.255.255.255

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)
