Reply To: Internet connection with Ethernet

Nicola,

You will need to configure the default gateway and other settings in the /etc/network/interfaces file. For example:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 10.0.0.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 10.0.0.1

This configures the Ethernet eth0 interface to be brought up automatically with an address of 10.0.0.100 and the default gateway of 10.0.0.1. This information would go into /etc/network/interfaces.
