Tips and Tricks

If you have a network adapter and your network has not a DHCP server, you have to: 1. Retrieve your network adapter identifier with these commands:

    # ifconfig -a | grep mtu | awk -F: '{if ($1 != "lo0") print $1;}'

Suppose that the previous command returned the string 'rl0'.

2. Stop DHCP client:

    # killall dhclient

3. Manually configure your network adapter (man ifconfig for details):

    # ifconfig rl0 inet 192.168.0.250 netmask 255.255.255.0

4. Add an entry in /etc/resolv.conf with the ip address of a DNS server:

    # echo "nameserver 151.1.1.1" >> /etc/resolv.conf
  where 151.1.1.1 is the DNS server ip address.

5. Setup the default router or gateway (if any) in your network:

    # route add default 192.168.0.1 
  where 192.168.0.1 is the router ip address.

6. To start XOrg? graphic interface, use the startx command.

7. To change XOrg? resolution, just open a terminal and type:

    # xrandr -s XxY?
 where X x Y is your preferred resolution.
