[LUG] ip address

[jon <jondavey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi !, I'm back with this one again. We've worked out that my eth0 card isnt 
configured ( which should have been obvious to me due to the red FAILED 
warning on boot up...oops ) properly, thanks for the help so far, but on 
trying to configure it I'm stuck when asked for my ip address.  Is this just 
a case of getting a provider who asigns static rather than dynamic addresses 
?. 
    I've already contacten anlx as I'm suspecting this is the case but it'd be 
nice to know for sure........(says I; hoping Theo's reading)

   If all you get is:

I got this  --->
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
          inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
          RX packets:12040 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:12040 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
          RX bytes:1006708 (983.1 Kb)  TX bytes:1006708 (983.1 Kb)
which, I guess means my eithernet card is'nt configured......
