Networking in Kubuntu has gotten much easier for everyone. The days of configuring your settings via the command line are almost gone completely. A majority of users will never have to use the command line when configuring their network settings in order to share files between PCs or to gain access to the Internet. There are those select few who might be utilizing hardware that is not Linux certified as of yet. For those, there might be the possibility of making changes via the command line.

Some users will want to do more than surf the Internet or read Email such as sharing files between a Windows PC or a Mac. Setting up Kubuntu on a Windows network is a very simple task and at most will only require very minor command line usage.

Determining your network hardware

18.

If you are having issues connecting to your network or the Internet, the first thing you need to do is locate the model of the network device you are using. To do so, unfortunately you will have to use the command line at this time. To get to the command line in Kubuntu, press <keycombo><keycap>Alt</keycap><keycap>F2</keycap></keycombo>. This will open up a pop-up called <application>KRunner</application>. Enter the word <userinput>konsole</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. You will notice that once <application>Konsole</application> opens, you will see something similar to <prompt>username@hostname:~$</prompt>. Here you will type <userinput>lspci</userinput> and press <keycap>Enter</keycap>. Locate your network hardware information, you will need this for the upcoming sections, especially for wireless cards.

A majority of connection settings can be changed from within the <guilabel>Network Settings</guilabel> section of System Settings. To access the Network Settings, go to <menuchoice><guimenu>Kickoff Application Launcher</guimenu><guimenuitem>System Settings</guimenuitem></menuchoice> and then select <guilabel>Network Settings</guilabel> at the lower left of the window.

No matter the connection you are using, the network settings will usually be configured the same. Most users are probably familiar with Windows networking and seeing terms such as <acronym>IP</acronym> address, gateway address, netmask address, and <acronym>DNS</acronym> addresses. They are still the same in Kubuntu however there are two extra settings that are common with Linux systems, network address and broadcast address however these extra settings are not necessary for basic home networking and connecting to the Internet.
