Dear All:

        I've decided to change my Linux box which IP address has been 
configured since the installation,
so far, I have to type the command " ifconfig eth0 192.168........" and then 
re-configured the routing table each
one of the network interface ( I still stay on the early stage, and dis-like to 
upgrade my kernels from 2.0.x
to 2.2.x ....) to make the new IP and new Gateway up to works.

        I'd like to know how to change the IP address without issue additional 
commands and remain
the new IPs ( even though rebooting the computer ).  There are some files have 
to be modified,.  As I
know, major distributions use different files from one to another to handle the 
configuration of IPs, so,
does anyone who know which files the "Debian" need to be modified,  so does the 
host name, domain name
and other related configuration?

        Further more, if I have two NICs on the same computer, is there 
something different then the
single NIC I have talked above?  


Note: I am using Debian 2.1 (which came with 2.0.36 kernel, I had re-complied 
it, but remain it kernel
           version ). 

                                                Thanks ! 
                                                Net Shu
