I seem to have done something to my Mandrake 8.2 installation on a Dell Latitude to lose control of my network interfaces. When I use netconf to check and configure the machine, it shows a total of 6 different network interface options. All I want is to use the first to set the proper IP address, name, and DNS servers for eth0. Netconf shows the first one configured as I would like, but disabled. It shows the second one enabled, again for eth0, but using the IP address of the router for this network, 10.32.10.1. The third for eth0 is enabled and configured as the first one, that is the way I want it. The rest are empty.
I have reset them the way I want, eliminated any info on the second and third options, disabled them, enabled the first and saved. No matter what I do, they get reset as above. I have webmin on this machine and looking at the network settings, it seems to be OK. Mandrake Control Center also seems to show it set up as I want. I've looked through any .conf files I can think of that might be relevant and I cannot for the life of me figure out what is changing the settings. Can someone point me toward a solution?
