Thanks for the tutorial, really good, but how can I remove a network interface in ubuntu immediately using CLI?

I know I can remove interfaces from /etc/network/interfaces file, but some virtual interfaces are not listed there. I also know about “ifconfig down” command but what I want is to get rid of the interfaces completely.

What I am looking for is something like “ifconfig unplumb”, which is used in Solaris systems, but for Ubuntu. Does something like this exist?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Victor.

I’m beginner and it still not clear, the article should explain for beginner, Networking for 2 computers, one of them connect to internet (simple networking) for home use, next step is how to browse each other for file transfer and editing. Hope you can help me.

Muollo has a good point. I just installed Ubuntu 6.06 on 17 April.
Windows crashed my system and I’ve lost years worth of files (ie Wedding Pics)
and my military records. So, I’ve rebuilt the system and trying this time
to get my system secured and networkable for home use. Can anyone help?

Would you be so kind as to reply to question number #1 above? I am having the exact same trouble — your tutorial is great, but my Networking options don’t list “Wired Connection”, even though the cable is plugged in and works fine when I boot into Windows. Please respond!!!!

@penguinlove:
Seriously, you need to get a life. If you got spam (which has nothing to do with your OS) and viruses while you were running Windows, it’s most likely your fault. The only time I’ve ever gotten any malware on a Windows box (yes, just once over the course of about 10 years,) it was my fault and was unrelated to the OS. Furthermore, it wasn’t actually able to do anything, it was just there.

Just because you run Linux (which, btw, I do, too) doesn’t mean you’re smarter than someone else. Most people do not have the time to spend trying to get their computer working correctly (editting conf files, compiling stuff from source, etc.) They need something that they can just install and it all works out of the box. Therefore, they use Windows.

Also, both Windows and Linux can have security holes, if they are not configured correctly. They can also both be quite secure if they are configured correctly. It’s not unique to either one.
