Oh, that's ok. I always thought I was a bit on the rambling side :) You want to edit /etc/network/interfaces, read 'man interfaces'. A snippet from mine: iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.254 netmask 255.255.255.0 Do 'ifdown eth0'. Adjust the ip and netmask, do 'ifup eth0'. Edit /etc/hostname to contain the unqualified (???) hostname. That's basically what's needed, you'll have to set the domain somewhere... Christian
