personally, I don't like the debian networking scripts/files I find this much easier to use one file... http://galis.org/scripts/networking-local edit to suite, put it in your /etc/init.d and use update-rc.d to populate the runlevels, also remove 'networking' from the runlevels and /etc/rcS.d (it requires the iproute package) // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
