I hI ment that i know that IP adress that i should assign to this machine.

The problem is that am entering the information needed but it doesnt work
i try to browse but it gives an error message (for example for www.yahoo.com it say: the server www.yahoo.com could not be found).

I want to also know the configuration files that i should deal with ( and if i can do it through the command line.

I basically deicided to do this (installing linux on the machine) for learning purpos and also to see how good linux is and if i can switch to it.

will be waiting for your replies.

Cheers
