Re: network card setting

Hello!

In the lo you have configuration of loopback
interface (127.0.0.1) and the eth0 is config
of the network addres (192.168.1.1) the address
that you set to connect via network.

Re: network card setting

eth0 is the first NIC card detected

lo is loopback. If your machine is working right, you should NEVER touch ifcfg-lo
