This is typically done in the script /etc/init.d/network That script is generated at install when you answer the questions about your network setup. If you take a look at it and edit it, you should see all of the various network parameters (IP address, subnet mask, etc.) to set up your ethernet card. If not, just reply back for some more info. -- Regards, | Debian GNU/ __ o http://www.debian.org . | / / _ _ _ _ _ __ __ Randy | / /__ / / / \// //_// \ \/ / ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | /____/ /_/ /_/\/ /___/ /_/\_\ http://www.golgotha.net | because lockups should only be for convicts.
