All (and especially Steve) -

My first runs didn't work. Steve, I took your recipe from the other
thread and attempted to marry it to what I gleaned from the Ubuntu page
you noted.

My file looked like this:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

mapping eth0
script /etc/network/if_mapping

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.x.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx
dns xxx.xxx.x.xxx
up echo 'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' > /etc/resolv.conf

I assume the nameserver address in the last line is the same as the dns
server on the previous line. Also, there should be spaces between
'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' and '>' - correct?

The only other issue is that when I delete the rest of the file, which
pertains to the current wireless connection, the word 'on' appears at
the end of two lines and I can't get either instance to delete in vi.

So the file looks like this, exactly...

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

mapping eth0
script /etc/network/if_mapping

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address xxx.xxx.x.xx
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway xxx.xxx.x.xxx
dns xxx.xxx.x.xxx
up echo 'nameserver xxx.xxx.x.xxx' > /etc/resolv.conf

on
on


Thoughts on what I'm doing wrong?

tks,

s.
