Note: “CentOS Dolphin” typically refers to CentOS 8/Stream 8 (or later) with the KDE Plasma Desktop Environment (where Dolphin is the default file manager). Network configuration in this context involves system-wide network settings (managed by NetworkManager) rather than Dolphin-specific configurations. Below is a detailed guide to system network configuration, which Dolphin relies on for network access.
sudo for commands).ens33, eth0) using:ip addr show
Look for interfaces with “UP” status (e.g., ens33).ip addr show <interface> # e.g., ip addr show ens33
ip route show
ping 8.8.8.8 # Replace with a valid IP/hostname
ens33 with your interface):sudo vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ens33
BOOTPROTO=static # Disable DHCP
ONBOOT=yes # Enable at boot
IPADDR=192.168.1.100 # Static IP
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 # Subnet mask (or use PREFIX=24)
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 # Default gateway
DNS1=8.8.8.8 # Primary DNS
DNS2=8.8.4.4 # Secondary DNS
:wq in vi).sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
ip addr show ens33
ping www.google.com # Test external connectivity
ifcfg-ens33):BOOTPROTO=dhcp # Enable DHCP
ONBOOT=yes
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
For users preferring a GUI, nmtui (NetworkManager Text User Interface) is available:
sudo nmtui
ens33).sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager
nmcli is a powerful CLI for NetworkManager:
nmcli connection show
ens33 with your connection name):sudo nmcli connection edit ens33
set ipv4.addresses 192.168.1.100/24
set ipv4.gateway 192.168.1.1
set ipv4.dns "8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4"
set ipv4.method manual
save
activate
nmcli connection show ens33 | grep IPV4
After any configuration change, use these commands:
ip addr show <interface>
ping 192.168.1.1 # Replace with your gateway
ping www.google.com
nslookup google.com
ip link set <interface> up).sudo firewall-cmd --list-all)./etc/resolv.conf (add nameserver 8.8.8.8) or use nmcli to update DNS.By following these steps, you can configure system-wide network settings for CentOS 8/Stream 8 (with KDE Plasma). Dolphin will automatically use these settings for network access.
