Newbie - How can i reset slitaz ethernet internet config settings to default?

Hi, i have just installed slitaz on my old toshiba satellie spa40 laptop. i was trying to get my D-Link DWL-G122 wireless usb adapter working and i didnt have a clue what i was doing and failed miserably. (i also have a belkin pcmia card wireless adapter i can use if this is easier to setup) I then plugged the ethernet cable in and my internet now doesnt work on that either. Im a complete newbie to xterm or sakura, i dont have a clue how to use it or code. i just want a basic laptop that can run internet over cable and preferably wireless. . is there a way i can reset my slitaz internet settings to what it was when i installed slitaz? because it worked then straight away.

(also my laptop is 1024x768 and the picture isnt too sharp but i doubt there is much i can do about that is there?)

Please can you help me , spent all day yesterday just trying to install linux .

Many Thanks

Open terminal,su, password: root

leafpad /etc/network.conf

[1]Find/change these variables to match,then save.

# Set default interface.

INTERFACE="eth0"

# Wifi connection.

# Enable/disable wireless connection at boot time.

WIFI="no"

[2]Restart networking

/etc/init.d/network.sh restart

Thanks for your response, i copied the above information in but it still doesnt work! ,

I fear me messing about with ip address information has messed things up, i wish there was a way to easily reset my config file

Overwrite /etc/network.conf with the default /etc/network.conf here:
