if you're anal (like me) you'll back up a copy of your old settings before steamrolling it the debian way -- apt-get install ipmasq once ifconfig shows proper settings (/etc/network/interfaces) "ipmasq" is all i've ever needed. paranoids say it's not big on tight security, but it worked forme right out of the box. -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #16 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Why are *.rpm (RED HAT PACKAGES) considered spawn of Satan? Because the Debian package system is a lot more sophisticated than the one Red Hat uses; lots more inter-dependency information is built in to a *.deb package. If you bypass that with an *.rpm file, you're taking chances with your system. Try to "apt-get install <debian-only>" packages if possible. (Also check out the "alien" package if you must.)
