-By default SliTaz starts a DHCP client (udhcpc) on eth0 at boot time. If your network card has been identified as an eth0 interface and you use a router, your connection should already be working. DHCP is dynamically configured, on each boot the client asks for a new IP address from the DHCP server which is integrated into the router, or on another computer. If you need a static IP, you can directly edit config files or use the GUI //netbox// available from the //​System ​menu --> System// tools.

 Netbox is a small GTK+ application to configure a network interface using DCHP or a fixed (static) IP address. The tabs can be used to start/stop the connections and automatically change the values in the system files. Netbox provides a system wide tab from which you can directly edit network configuration files, and tabs to configure PPP/PPPoE username/​passwords. Servers such as SSH, DHCP, PXE, DNS, etc can also be configured and it's possible to create your own virtual private network (VPN) using the tools provided. ​ Netbox is a small GTK+ application to configure a network interface using DCHP or a fixed (static) IP address.
