In your case dhcp="yes" If there si no buildin network device on your laptop (meanign that the network pcmcia-card will eb assigned to eth0) then remove all lines from the /etc/network/interfaces file (or uncomment them with # ). Your pcmcia-config will configure and bring up eth0 in that case. success! > --Josh > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
