 ===== About the Network =====
-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. In a terminal or a Linux console, you can list all available network interfaces with the command //ifconfig// followed by the //-a// option:

-===== Netbox - Configure the network =====
+===== Netbox - Configure the network (SliTaz 3.0 and older) =====
 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.

 The file ///etc/hostname// sets the machine name. This is loaded at system startup with the command 'hostname', without an argument this command returns the current machine name:

 To change the hostname, you can use the echo command or a text editor available on SliTaz (you must be root). Example using echo and the machine name kayam:
