Network Setup HowTo

[xoroz]

Well I download the VMWare and I have Static IP.
I lost 30min to figure out how to setup all parameters via cmd line,
is there a NetworkManagement GUI app in BackTrack, I saw only for WLAN.
And the eth0 was down. anyways these are the commands I used:

Setup IP/MASK/Gateway:
# ifconfig eth0 <IP> mask <mask>
Route Net:
# route add -net 161.116.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
Set Gateway:
# route add default gw 161.116.1.254
Set DNS:
# vim /etc/resolv.conf

Could also try one of the GUI based:
netconf , linuxconf, netconfig

dhcpc eth0
