Dynamic IP Configuration

Steps to configure Dynamic IP:

  • Open the Firefox or Chrome web browser.

  • Type localhost or 127.0.0.1 in the browser's URL field.

  • Enter your Webmin Login name = root and password=thinux in the Webmin server login dialog box.

  • Click Networking in the left pane of Webmin. Click Network Configuration to list the available network interfaces.

  • Click the name of the network interface you want to edit. For a wireless network, click the wlan0 option.

  • Once the interface is recognized, configure it as follows:

  • If you want the interface to be brought up at boot time, set the Activate at boot? field to Yes.

  • In the protocol field, select DHCP.

  • In the IP Address field, either enter an address or select the From DHCP option to have one assigned dynamically.

  • Enter the netmask of the interface's network in the Netmask field, such as 255.255.255.0.

  • In the Primary Name Server field, enter the address of the primary name server, such as 4.2.2.2.

  • In the Secondary Name Server field, enter the address of the secondary name server, such as 8.8.8.8.

  • In the default domain field, enter the default domain.

  • Click Save and Apply.

Wait a few seconds for the network interface to restart with the new IP address, or restart the device.
