This tutorial reviews the origins of TCP/IP and how it works -- including IP addresses, subnets, and routing. With this theoretical foundation laid, we discuss the various network configuration files required by Linux, how to initialize a network interface, and how to edit the system's routing table. The tutorial closes with a brief look at how to analyze your network and ensure that data gets to where it's supposed to go, without error.
