Auto-reconfigure network in Ubuntu server?

z0mbi3 · 30 Nov 2007 at 15:20

Any one know how I can bring up the auto network configuration screen that you get during installation from the command line?

I'm sure I've done it before but I'm racking my brain now and can't work it out.

Any ideas?

Basically I don't know what the network settings at work are / should be so I want to be able to auto configure them. If I manualy set it up for my home network then it isn't going to work in the office.

I suspect my router isn't accepting the network connection from the server tbh but I'd still rather be able to autoconfigure on demand just in case.

It does but I'd rather use the gui.

You get it during the ubuntu server installation. Thing is I know you can bring it up from the terminal but I can't remember how.

Anyway it doesn't matter now, armed with the commands above I'll get to the bottom of it.
