        network 192.168.1.1
        broadcast 192.168.1.255
        gateway 192.168.1.1
  • Then check the DNS config file /etc/resolv.conf , so that the IP v4 part looks like...
127.0.0.1       localhost
192.168.10.210  mail.home.int   mail

  2. Uncompress the package
    • tar -xzf zcs-6.0.5_GA_2213.UBUNTU8.20100202225756.tgz
  3. Start the install
    • ./install.sh
