I have searached the internet for a while now and I can't figure this out. I decided to try out th Yoper distro on my laptop. During the setup I selected DHCP. Rebooted, and started up Mozilla, can't resolve name. I went over to the control center and there is nothing there to help me configure my ethernet card. I know there are some configuration files that I can edit myself and put in all of my network information myself, but I don't know where they are. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I don't know about your specific distribution but a file that seems to be present on all distributions that I've heard of so far is ifcfg-eth0. That file will allow you to setup DHCP or disable it, setup your ip address and pretty much everything to get you on the network. It should be something like

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
IPADDR=192.168.1.3
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
