+friend.</a></h1>
+
+<p>When you initially installed Slackware, the setup program invoked the <tt
+class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> program. <tt class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> attempted to
+perform the following functions for you:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>It asked you for the name of your computer, and the domain name for your computer.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>It gave a brief explanation of the various types of addressing schemes, told when they
+should be used, and asked you which IP addressing scheme you wished to use to configure
+your network card:</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>
+<p>Static-IP</p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>DHCP</p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>Loopback</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<br />
+<br />
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>It then offered to probe for a network card to configure.</p>
+</li>
+</ul>
+
+<p><tt class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> will generally take care of about 80% of the work
+of configuring your LAN network connection if you will let it. Note that I would strongly
+suggest that you review your config file for a couple of reasons:</p>
+
+<ol type="1">
+<li>
+<p>You should never trust a setup program to properly configure your computer. If you use
+a setup program, you should review the configuration yourself.</p>
+</li>
+
+<li>
+<p>If you are still learning Slackware and Linux system management, viewing a working
+configuration can be helpful. You'll at least know what the configuration should look
+like. This will allow you to correct problems due to misconfiguration of the system at a
+later date.</p>
