Makes life way more easier

Edit /etc/network/interfaces (NOTE THIS IS FOR the ethernet config)

I suggest to use 192.168.1.121 for the box

# 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 static

address 192.168.1.121

netmask 255.255.255.0

broadcast 192.168.1.255

gateway 192.168.1.1

Restart the networ

/etc/init.d/networking restart
