Are you using Debian? This'll be useful to someone anyway: /etc/network/interfaces has a mapping directive, which allows you to use different profiles for the same interface. It is particularly useful for swapping between dhcp/static, home/work, etc. Easiest place to read about it is man 5 interfaces. - Jeff -- Get Informed: SCO vs. IBM http://sco.iwethey.org/ Mangoes are nature's edible orgasm. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
