Godot's Network Configuration

# It may be that you have to present a userid/password before your Internet service provider configures your network settings (e.g., ip address), e.g.,
```
 curl -d "uid=userid&pwd=whatever" https://netlogin.kuleuven.be/cgi-bin/weblogin.cgi|mail root 
```
# Once you are satisfied with this command (it may be that your internet service provider uses other variable names (than uid and pwd) in the network login form), you can launch it after a reboot by appending it to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.
# If your ISP goes down from time to time, and you need to relogin each time, you may consider running a the following command:
```
 while date;do \
  echo starting curl;\
  curl -d "uid=userid&pwd=whatever" https://netlogin.kuleuven.be/cgi-bin/weblogin.cgi|mail root;\
  date;\
  while ping -c 10 www.google.com;do\
    echo pings were successful;\
    sleep 600;\
    done;\
  sleep 5;\
  done 
```

# In case you wish to clone a MAC address on your machine, specify this address in /etc/network/interfaces:

 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet dhcp
        hwaddr wh:at:ev:er:ad:dr

If you wish to specify a static ip address, this would become:

 auto eth0
 iface eth0 inet static
        address 1.2.3.4
        netmask 255.255.255.x
        gateway 2.3.4.5
        #network 1.2.3.256-x
        #broadcast 1.2.3.4

#activating your wireless network card (provided your network card is recognized as ath0):
1. # configure the wireless card (ssid, encryption keys, etc):
```
 wlcardconfig 
```
2. # add the following lines to /etc/network/interfaces:
```
 auto ath0
 iface ath0 inet dhcp 
```
3. # (re)start the network daemon:
```
 sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart 
```

The Greatest Mathematical Error The Mariner I space probe was launched from Cape Canaveral on 28 July 1962 towards Venus. After 13 minutes' flight a booster engine would give acceleration up to 25,820 mph; after 44 minutes 9,800 solar cells would unfold; after 80 days a computer would calculate the final course corrections and after 100 days the craft would cirlce the unknown planet, scanning the mysterious cloud in which it is bathed. However, with an efficiency that is truly heartening, Mariner I plunged into the Atlantic Ocean only four minutes after takeoff. Inquiries later revealed that a minus sign had been omitted from the instructions fed into the computer. "It was human error", a launch spokesman said. This minus sign cost L4,280,000. -- Stephen Pile, "The Book of Heroic Failures"
