Make a separate /etc/network/firewall script and structure it like an init.d script. Then, in your /etc/init.d/interfaces file, you can do stuff like: auto eth0 <--- only require by later versions of ifupdown iface eth0 inet static address a.b.c.d netmask e.f.g.h gateway i.j.k.l up /etc/network/firewall start down /etc/network/firewall stop Or something similar of your own devising. Luca -- Luca Filipozzi [dpkg] We are the apt. Resistance is futile. You will be packaged.
