Usually cable connections usually use DHCP (Dynamic Connections), and that is what the default network settings are. Another answer was to read RedHat's documentation. Also good advice. This is because Scientific Linux is just RedHat Enterprise Linux recompiled. The Redhat documentation is at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/#RHEL5 Networking http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/pt-network-related-config.html Networking configuration specifically is at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-networkscripts.html http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-network-config.html After going through the documentation, if you have some more specific questions, please let us know.
