1. From the GNOME menu bar, choose System -> Administration -> Networking.
The Enter Your Password to Perform Administrative Tasks dialog opens (unless you've entered your password in the previous five minutes).
2. Type your password in the text box and click OK. The Network Settings dialog opens,
Enter the password you chose during the Ubuntu installation process.

3. Click the Wired connection and click the Properties button. The Interface Properties dialog opens, showing your current, if any, configuration.
