Nieuwe netwerkinterface instellen (LAN, ISDN, ADSL, ...)drakconnectIntroductieThis toolU kunt deze tool op de commandoregel starten, door als root drakconnect te typen. allows to configure much of
local network or Internet access. You have to know some information from
your access provider or your network administrator.Select the type of connection you want to set, according to which hardware
and provider you have.A new Wired connection (Ethernet)The first window lists the interfaces which are available. Select the one
to configure.At this point, the choice is given between an automatic or a manual IP
address.Automatic IPEthernet/IP settings: you have to select if DNS servers
are declared by the DHCP server or are manually specified, as explained
below. In the last case, the IP address of DNS servers has to be set. The
HOSTNAME of the computer can be specified here. If no HOSTNAME is specified,
the name localhost.localdomain is attributed by default.
The Hostname can also be provided by the DHCP server with the option
Assign host name from DHCP server. Not all DHCP servers
have such a function and if you're setting up your PC to get an IP address
from a domestic ADSL router, it is unlikely.The advanced button give the opportunity to specify:Search domain (not accessible, as provided by the DHCP server)the DHCP clientDHCP timeoutGet YP server from DHCP (checked by default): specify the NIS serverGet NTPD server from DHCP (synchronisation of clocks)the HOSTNAME required by DHCP. Only use this option if the DHCP server
requires the client to specify a hostname before receiving an IP
address. This option is not dealt by some DHCP servers.After accepting, the last steps which are common to all connection
configurations are explained: Handmatige configuratieEthernet/IP settings: you need to declare what DNS
servers to use. The HOSTNAME of the computer can be specified here. If no
HOSTNAME is specified, the name localhost.localdomain is
attributed by default.For a residential network, the IP address usually looks like
192.168.x.x, Netmask is
255.255.255.0, and the Gateway and DNS servers are
available from your service provider's website.In advanced settings, you can specified a Search
domain. It would usually be your home domain, i.e. if your
computer is called "splash", and it's full domain name is
"splash.boatanchor.net", the Search Domain would be "boatanchor.net". Unless
you specifically need it, it's ok not to define this setting. Again,
domestic ADSL would not need this setting.The next steps are exposed at A new Satellite connection (DVB)This section hasn't been written yet for lack of resources. If you think you

configure it.A list of providers is proposed, classified by countries. Select your
provider. If it is not listed, select the option
Unlisted and then enter the options your provider gave.Select one of the protocols available:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)Handmatige TCP/IP-configuratiePPP over ADSL (PPPoA)PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)Point to Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)ToegangsinstellingenAccount-aanmelding (gebruikersnaam)Account password(Advanced) Virtual Path ID (VPI)(Advanced) Virtual Circuit ID (VCI)The next steps are exposed at A new ISDN connectionThe wizard asks which device to configure:Manual choice (internal ISDN card)Extern ISDN modemA list of hardware is proposed, classified by category and
manufacturer. Select your card.Select one of the protocols available:Protocol for the rest of the world, except Europe (DHCP)Protocol for Europe (EDSS1)A list of providers is then offered, classified by countries. Select your

manual method. In the last case, specify IP address and Subnet mask.The next step is to choose how DNS servers address are obtained, by
automatic or manual method. In the case of manual configuration, you have to
put:DomeinnaamFirst and second DNS ServerSelect if the hostname is set from IP. This option is to select only if you
are sure that your provider is configured to accept it.The next step is to choose how the gateway address is obtained, by automatic
or manual method. In the case of manual configuration, you have to enter the
IP address.The next steps are exposed at A new Wireless connection (WiFi)A first window lists the interfaces which are available and an entry for
Windows driver (ndiswrapper). Select the one to configure. Use ndiswrapper
only if the other configuration methods did not work.At this step, the choice is given between the different access points that
the card has detected.Specific parameter for the wireless card are to provide:Operating mode:BeheerdTo access to an existing access point (the most frequent).Ad-HocTo configure direct connection between computers.Network Name (ESSID)Encryption mode: it depends of how the access point is configured.WPA/WPA2This encryption mode is to prefer if your hardware allows it.WEPSome old hardware deals only this encryption method.VercijferingssleutelIt is generally provided with the hardware which give the access point.At this step, the choice is given between an automatic IP address or a
