[olug] Setting Up Netcfg Correctly?

[CM Miller]

Since we've seen some discussion on networking, I
wanted to check to see if I have my little network
setup right. 

I have one RH 7.1 linux machine and a dual boot
Windows/RH 7.1 machine that connect to a Linksys
Router/Hub and connect to my cox cable modem.  

Both machines can connect and surf the web, but I want
to make sure that I have it setup right.  

I have seen an example on how to setup netcfg under a
dial up modem, but not a cable modem.  But under the
interface button, does eth0 and eth1 refer to my two
machines?  And clicking edit I can assign an IP
address here, correct?  

Also, under the Names button, what is a Nameserver,
and it appears there is an IP address assigned here,
can anyone explain that in more detail, or add
anything else in setting up my network properly. 

thanks, 

-Chris
