check /etc/network/interfaces it should have these lines: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
see if you have any other dhcp clients installed, it could be going to another client first (dhcp-client, dhcpcd), so remove them and just leave pump installed. I'm assuming your net driver is compiled in, right? If not you may want to check /etc/modules.conf to make sure the eth0 alias is set up or put the module in /etc/modules, either way will autoload it before the networking scripts start up. the networking scripts run ifup -a, so if you want to test your setup without rebooting, thats one step, then try /etc/init.d/networking stop and networking start On Thursday 21 March 2002 05:22 pm, Ricardo Lopez wrote: > When I start up my debian system, I have to log in as root and manually > type pump...
