My approach looks like this: % cat /etc/network/interfaces auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 network 192.168.1.0 auto dsl-provider iface dsl-provider inet ppp pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth1 up # line maintained by pppoeconf provider dsl-provider (pppoeconf is helpful but not absolutely necessary) I have to admit that the reconnection is solved by a cron-job which looks like this: % cat /etc/cron.d/ppp-chceck # * * * * * root /sbin/ip link show ppp0 1>/dev/null 2>&1 || ( /sbin/ifdown ppp0; /sbin/ifup ppp0=dsl-provider && logger -t ppp-check "ppp0 (dsl-provider) has been reconnected!" ) # Greetings, - Darsha _______________________________________________ Voyage-linux mailing list [email protected] http://list.voyage.hk/mailman/listinfo/voyage-linux
