5.15. Configure your Network

Note

This step is generally ignored for Recommended mode.

If you wish to connect your computer to the Internet or to a local network, please choose the correct option. Please turn on your device before choosing the correct option to let DrakX detect it automatically.

Mandrake Linux proposes the configuration of an Internet connection at installation time. Available connections are: traditional modem, ISDN modem, ADSL connection, cable modem, and finally a simple LAN connection (Ethernet).

Here, we will not detail each configuration. Simply make sure that you have all the parameters from your Internet Service Provider or system administrator.

You can consult the manual chapter about Internet connections for details about the configuration, or simply wait until your system is installed and use the program described there to configure your connection.

If you wish to configure the network later after installation or if you have finished configuring your network connection, click Cancel.
