This may be the worst question yet and quite a bit OT so sorry but need
help:

I am trying to work a little on my holidays, my computer is connected
via 3G. None of my "usual" network interfaces (cable or wireless) are
connected so they dont have IP addresses. If I try to set an address
manually nothing happens (do I have to plug in a cable to get the local
network to accept an address?).

I dont want to run anything remote or communicate, I just want my eth0
to have an IP address!

Or is my thinking simply as flawed as my "understanding" of Windows XP?

Regards
//Rikard
