Configuring the network connection

Proceed with this step if you want to configure a PPTP connection. For PPPoE connections, this step does not apply.

1. To create a new network connection, click (Create a new item) in the item list bar. The Network Connection dialog opens. It allows you to configure a network connection.
2. Enter a name for your network connection in the Name field.
3. From the Interface drop-down list, select eth0.
4. From the Type drop-down list, select the Static menu item.
5. Enter the IP address and the subnet mask for the network connection in the IP Addresses field.
   Note: This IP address is the client/NIC IP address you received from your provider.
6. Click on the right to add your entry to the list of IP addresses.
7. Click Create. The Network Connection dialog closes. The new interface is added to the list of available network connections in the item list bar.
