Hallo Mircea! Pardon me for intruding your thread.

This was exactly what disturbed me, when I configured DSL. I did the following which seems not to be the debian way. ,----[ /etc/init.d/network ] | ifconfig eth0 up `---- I even run update-rc.d network default ,----[ interfaces ] | # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) | | # The loopback interface | iface lo inet loopback | | #iface eth0 inet static # MY HOME NET | # address 192.168.1.1 | # network 192.168.1.0 | # netmask 255.255.255.0 | # broadcast 192.168.1.255 `---- So how can I configure DSL the debian way. I would like to use my homenet _and_ DSL at the same time. Shall I simply insert: iface eth0 up in interfaces? TIA juh -- Blitzkrieg und Vergeltungsschläge http://www.sudelbuch.de/2000/20001210.html
