     22As of now, network can be configure only manually using the `inetcfg` command.

     24=== Manual network configuration ===
     25
     26Manual network configuration is quite easy. You can always check the current setting via the `inetcfg` command without arguments:
     27
     28{{{
     29/ # inetcfg
     30Configured addresses:
     31    127.0.0.1/24 net/loopback v4a 1500
     32Static routes:
     33    None
     34}}}
     35
     36Now, let's assume you want to configure HelenOS to have address 192.168.1.4. This is simply achieved by typing:
     37
     38{{{
     39/ # inetcfg create 192.168.1.4/24 net/eth1 myaddr
     40}}}
     41
     42`net/eth1` is one of the available links, in this case the first discovered network card. You may use the `locinfo` command to see what other links are there in the system. `myaddr` is a user-defined name given to the configured address. It is used to identify the address to other `inetcfg` commands.
     43
     44You may also want to configure the default gateway for your networked HelenOS system. Provided the gateway is at 192.168.1.1, type:
     45
     46{{{
     47/ # inetcfg add-sr 0.0.0.0/0 192.168.1.1 default
     48}}}
     49
     50Your HelenOS system is now configured for networking. Note that `inetcfg` understands also other commands that you can use to fix any potential problems with the configuration. To see the complete list, just type:
     51
     52{{{
     53/ # inetcfg -h
     54}}}
