How do I check and configure LAN properties? Once I'm by the installation process, how do I check the configuration of the NIC?

Configuration is checked with
# ifconfig
it gives you the name & IP's of everything completely installed including the loopback device (lo)
If a NIC doesn't show up, try
# ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (x's=IP-adress)
if it doesn't work check if the module is loaded:
#lsmod
This is all in RedHat/Mandrake, don't know what you have but these commands should be the same.
Where to put things to make settings permanent might vary, if you have problems return with info about what distro you're using & what NIC's you have.
