Hi, perhaps this will confuse you more, but perhaps it will help... ## we need power! su ## first let us clean up the situation ifconfig # something is printed onto screen ifconfig ethX down # for each ethX shown ## now setting up our networking interface and router ifconfig eth0 <my ip> netmask <my netmask> route add default gw <ip of our gateway> ## of course we need DNS, too cd /etc echo "search localdomain" > resolv.conf echo "nameserver <ip of my DNS server>" >> resolv.conf echo "nameserver <ip of my 2nd DNS server>" >> resolv.conf # now everything should work fine;) # and if really we should place a script into # /etc/rc.d/init.d linked to /etc/rc.d/rcX.d # to get this up automatically when booting Frank.
