Hi,
I'm really warming to this Ubuntu operating system now. But there is one thing I would like to do is set up the eth0 network to have an 'alternate configuration' similar to how it works under windows. This is have it set to use DHCP to get network address etc, but if no dhcp server is found within the timeout then set it to an already set manual configuration instead. Does anyone know if this is possible under Ubuntu 9.04? Why: When I'm using this machine at work it is sometimes on our network and gets an address via DHCP. But at other times I have to plug it directly to the internet (using one of our fixed ip addresses) to test or debug issues that may be affecting our network. In the latter case at the moment I have to change setting to 'manual' and then re-key all the address stuff each time. When I put it back on our network I have to again change it back to 'automatic (dhcp)' losing previously entered manual address. I just thought there must be a way for this to be all automatic...
