Hi Many thanks for that. I created a new network connection (called comet) and set a static Ip address for that. I can connect to comet and it works fine: the static IP is saved and my VPN client connects to my work VPN. However, when I reboot the machine it always starts up connected to eth0. I intend to put this machine in the loft and never connect to it as a desktop machine. How can I get the default interface to be comet when I reboot?
Thanks in advance for your help.
