1. heh that is a very open ended question there are many distributions of linux, all with slightly different caveats especially when referencing networking,, what WAN are you connecting to a linux server? smh that doesn't sound to safe,, unless that server is ur router,, now to configure networking in linux u need to either edit a file which i believe /etc/network/interfaces and restart the network daemon to have changes take affect in general,,, u can use the wiki for ur distro in this process also be aware of /etc/hosts and nsswitch files if making major changes u can use ifconfig to set an interface while the machine is booted as well but u will need to make the proper edits for this setting to hold after a reboot ifconfig (interface which u can get from /var/log/messages) (inet <IP> mask <MASK>) then set a default route route add default <gateway router IP> thats on a debian install you may want to look further into a WAN install there are other things to be confgured with that,,, each linux distro has a very good wiki USE THEM
