If your network does not support \acronym{DHCP}, then you need to know a few items of information before you can get online.

An \textbf{\acronym{IP} address} is a unique address used for identifying your computer on the Internet. When connecting through \acronym{DHCP} this is likely to change at times. However, if your \acronym{ISP} has provided you with a static address then it will not. An \acronym{IP} address is always given in the form of four numbers separated by decimal points, for example, 192.168.0.2.

The \textbf{network mask} tells your computer how large the network is that it belongs to. It takes the same form as an \acronym{IP} address, but is usually something like 255.255.255.0

The \textbf{gateway} is the \acronym{IP} address at your \acronym{ISP}'s end. It helps your computer connect or ``talk'' with their network, which acts as a ``gateway'' between your computer and the Internet.

\textbf{\acronym{DNS} servers} are one or more \acronym{IP} addresses of ``Domain Name System'' servers. These servers convert standard web addresses (like \url{http://www.ubuntu.com}) into \acronym{IP} addresses such as 91.189.94.156. This step allows your computer to ``find'' the correct web site when you type in the web address you wish to visit. A minimum of one \acronym{DNS} server is required, up to a maximum of three. The additional ones are used in case the first one fails.

\marginnote{If you do not already have these settings, you will need to consult your network administrator or \acronym{ISP} customer support to receive them.} To manually configure a wired connection, right-click on the NetworkManager icon and select \menu{Edit Connections}. Make sure you are looking at the \button{Wired} tab inside the \window{Network Connections} window that is displayed.

The list may already have an entry such as ``Auto eth$0$,'' or a similar name. If a connection is listed, select it and then click the \button{Edit} button. If no connection is listed, click the \button{Add} button instead.

If you are adding a connection, you first need to provide a name for the connection so you can distinguish it from any others that are added later. In the ``Connection name'' field, choose a name such as ``Wired connection 1.''
