Changed etwork Settings
This form is displayed after changing the configuration of a network interface.
When changing the configuration of a network interface, the new settings are applied and a
connectivity check is performed.
The results of the connectivity check are displayed here.
•If D S name resolution is not working, the system will be unable to perform many common
tasks. To resolve this issue, check the D S server settings for the network interface. If you are
using DHCP, check that your DHCP server provides D S server information, and enable this
option for the network interface. If you are assigning network addresses manually, check that
you have provided the correct D S server addresses.
•If D S name resolution is working, but Internet access is not, the system will not be able to
check for updates. To resolve this issue, check that the correct gateway address is configured.
