MOUNTING HARD DRIVES

/dev/sdb1 /home/[where you want to mount the file]
/dev/sdc1 etc…

NETWORK CONFIGURATION:
1. In /etc/network/interfaces type:

iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.[etc]
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1

DNS servers manually in /etc/resolv.conf, which should look something like this:

search mydomain.example
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 4.2.2.2

(NOTE: Comcast usually supplies DNS numbers during DHCP)

(To check, ping from other machines)
