Need help in setting up an internet connection

[Guest]

How do I manually set a LAN connection in Kubuntu?

I need to add this information manually:

IP Address: 192.168.1.xyz
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Preferred DNS: 203.99.163.240
Alternate DNS: 203.99.163.243

Help!

You may be able to do this with the GUI but the most reliable way is to edit /etc/network/interfaces to look like this.
************************************
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.xyz
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255
network 192.168.1.0
gateway 192.168.1.1
dns-nameservers 203.99.163.240 203.99.163.243
*****************************************
You must be root to edit that file so maybe
sudo kate /etc/network/interfaces
unless you prefer another editor.

After that I would like to say that
sudo invoke-rc.d network restart
should bring it up but that is probably not true while you have network-manager running. So you could run
sudo aptitude purge network-manager
which is what I do, or if you want to try to use it to configure wireless or something you might either reboot or try
sudo invoke-rc.d network-manager stop
sudo invoke-rc.d network restart
and then
sudo invoke-rc.d network-manager start

After it is setup the network will be brought up at boot and you can bring it up or down with
sudo ifdown eth0
and
sudo ifup eth0
