You probably want to use the 'up' keyword in /etc/network/interfaces. Look in the interfaces(5) man page for the up and down keywords. Also you can just tell debian that you want to use dhcp and it will do dhcp for you. That's in the man page too. -- fingerprint: 740F B8D9 DF20 362C F5BC CDE6 6923 5A48 7657 541F lynx -source http://www.ece.utexas.edu/~jhs/public_key.gpg | gpg --import
