Configure internet on Imac with server?

[abeisgreat]

I really didn't know where to post this... so yea.

I install 8.10 server on my imac, I skipped the DHCP setup on install because I didn't have an internet connection at the time, I do now and would like to get internet working, what do I need to do?

I believe that Network Manager should detect and configure it automatically. . . If not, you can right click on the applet (should be in the notification area, it looks like two little monitors side by side), select edit connections, and then configure it manually.

My bad. . .

Try this:
sudo ifconfig eth0 up

Hmm is there a sure-fire way to test the connection? I can ping a network IP but I cant update apt-get without error.

if you have ethernet plugged into the imac

try this command i just learnt :)


sudo dhclient eth0
this tries to force connect your server to the net

if your network port isnt called eth0 then use what yours is named
you can see this by doing

ifconfig
