Hello and welcome on my blog, there Vijay Kumar,
This article about the ” Kali Linux configure network manually ” In this topic, I will cover all about the Kali Linux network configuration of LAN (Ethernet) and Wireless LAN adapter as well. After reading this article you will able to assign IP manually and by DHCP server as well.
Network interfaces (LAN adapter, wireless adapter, usb adapter, fast Ethernet) are responsible to connect and make communication between two or more computers in a network.
If the network card is not configured properly, then you are out of network and configuration is important for network security. The network should have proper IP Address, subnet mask, Default gateway, domain name server, etc.
So configure the network and get into the network. but the most important question:
How do you check the Kali Linux network configuration?
There are different methods for windows and Linux operating systems. Here we are discussing Kali Linux, I will explain tasks used in Linux. Following command is used to check the status of the networking cards in Kali Linux:
Before run command makes sure, you are working as root. I mean “You must be root to make changes in network configuration.
If you are checking only network configuration then you don’t have a need to be root.
#ifconfig
#ifconfig –a
You have seen the result of ifconfig command, You can see assigned IP address, MAC address, Netmask, for IPv4, etc.
You can run this command as a normal user, sudo user, or root user. If you didn’t create a normal user in Kali Linux then you are using the system by the root user.
Sometimes you find that network interface is not responding properly, you will have to enable and disable.
You have more than 1 interface, and you want to use only 1 adapter, then disable other adapters.
You can use Ifconfig command followed by up option and interface name to start the network interface and for stopping it use the down option.

You can use the following syntax to enable and disable network interface cards.
#ifconfig eth0 down
#ifconfig eth0 up
Assign IP Address for the network (eth0 or wlan0)
Eth0 is the number of a wired network interface card. if you want to assign IP address for wireless adapter replace eth0 by wlan0. The current configuration of this adapter can be changed by using the following command and this command will assign new IP address for your computer interface
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10
Kali Linux network configuration with IP address and Netmask
Netmask is used to indentify the network address. It can be configured by using given command. This will set the ip address 192.168.1.10 and set the subnet mask 255.255.255.0
#ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
Add default gateway
Default gateway is added or changed, by using following command. It will set the default gateway 192.168.1.1
#route add default gw 192.168.1.1
Add dns-namesevers
In Linux DomainName Server or DNS can be set or modifying the resolv.conf in the /etc directory. It can be changed by editing this file. add the following sytex in terminal
#echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf
This command will remove the current nameserver and set 8.8.8.8. It can be added alternate nameserver by using following syntax
#echo nameserver 4.4.4.4 >> /etc/resolv.conf
Kali Linux network configuration from DHCP
DHCP services are one of the easiest ways to configure an Ethernet. A free DHCP server provides all required configuration settings for the network cards. Use the following method:
#leafpad /etc/networking/interfaces
make these entries
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address {ip_Address}
netmask {netmask}
gateway {Default_gateway_IP_Address}
Save the file and exit to complete the modification. It is required to take down the network and again bring up Ethernet interfaces to applying this configuration.
Use the following command to configure the network adapter
#dhclient eth0
This will configure the network adapter using the settings provided by the DHCP Server.

If Appreciate My Work, You should consider:
I installed Kali Linux on my Sony Vaio laptop (model number SVF142C1WW), but I had no wireless out of the box. Ethernet works fine, and I can connect to wireless networks normally from Windows running on the same machine.I found on Google which suggested I install the compatible wireless driver. I downloaded it from, extracted it to /Desktop and ran the following commands: $ cd desktop$ cd filenameofthatextracted folder$ make unload$ make loadAfter these commands, my wireless seems to be recognized (see iwconfig output below), but I can't see any available wireless networks.
