  [...]
 
−
From this you can tell that the application identifies itself as "Navigator", "Firefox". If this is too unsure for you, have a look at the process ID PID, which is 7661 in the above example:
 
−
ps -A |grep 7661
 
−
  7661 ?        01:00:53 firefox-bin
 
−
By this you see that the [[process]] that manages the Window is number 7661 and called firefox-bin.

/etc/network/interfaces holds the network configuration in debian-based distributions. Here is an example: 

iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.178.7
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.178.1

This will work well when connecting to the net with a fritzBox as the Fritz!BOx has the IP address 192.168.178.1 by default.
