You will get a screen called "Network Configurator". It will resemble this:
The purpose of the network configurator is to allow you to edit the config files for Linux networking, without having to do the configuration with the command line interface. The network configurator allows simple and graphical editing of network configurations for your computer, allowing you easy access and troubleshooting.
You will have several selections in the configurator. "Names" allows you to configure the hostname of your computer and the domain it is in, as well as the areas to look for nameservers for your computer to reference to. A nameserver allows your computer to compare the name of a computer, say "www.earth.jsu.edu" to a list of names, and then gives your computer the specific IP address of the computer with the name, "earth", in the domain, "jsu.edu". In the example above, the name for the computer is "iapetus".
You may want to refer to your computer later by a hostname. In the area labelled, "Hostname:", put the Hostname:. In the example above, the hostname for the computer is "iapetus.jsu.edu"
You may also want to have your computer on your domain. This way, people can refer to your computer on the world wide web. In the area labelled, "Domain:", put the Domain:. The domain in the above example is "jsu.edu".
For right now, we will leave the other sections of this screen blank for the sake of simplicity. The other areas of "Names" will be used later for your computer to reference to other computers by name, using a name server at the specified IP Address.
Next, click on the button labelled, "Save", to save your changes so far.
