Configured BSNL broad band in Ubuntu 9.04


Last couple of days I was trying to connect BSNL broadband in Ubuntu. I followed the instructions from ubuntu forums but all in vain. Finally I manually added the router ip address and gateway in /etc/network/interfaces and it started working :)

I had edited /etc/network/interfaces

sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces

and added below lines

iface eth0 inet static
 
	address 192.168.1.2
 
	netmask 255.255.255.0
 
	gateway 192.168.1.1

Hope this may help someone. Move to Ubuntu, it is super cool :)

    Hi

    I did everything you mentioned but got stuck at how to save the info i entered in the terminal. I am a newbie. Please suggest what i should do to save. Or better yet tell me a way to change this through ui. Thanks in advance.
