Trying to set up a wired network after installing Live to HDD. Didn't have the network setup before installing XBMC and now I show no IP info in the setting. I have seen some posts about editing a network file but am unsure of how to do that. Live installed on Revo 1600 using DHCP. Any help would be great. Thanks.

That seems to be for setting up a wireless network and not a standard wired network.

Add wired interface eth0 to /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

sudo pico /etc/network/interfaces

Code:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Bring up interface

Code:

sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Request ip

Code:

sudo dhclient eth0

It is a wired network so there isn't any security on it. I have seen the portion to edit/add to the network section but I am unsure how to edit under Linux. I would like to edit to enable the dhcp. Then I understand that I would need to reset the network. Any pointers on the actual editing under Live?
