3.5 Network Configuration

The system uses Network Manager to manage network connections. In most situations, the basic version of desktop OS can complete network connection automatically (DHCP automatic allocation). Users do not need to pay more attention to connection operations.

If you are using IPv6 in your network, you can refer to the IPv4 settings to edit its settings.



Finally click “Save(S)”, then it will connect to the network automatically.
