eth0 problem
Hi, I have added 3 Debian boxes to my network and they all seem OK, till I noticed that when changing some of the cat5 cables around, that the 3 debian boxes eth0 does not start passing data again when cat 5 is replaced, the cables were only removed for a minute or less.I did not notice straight off as when I replace the cable all looks fine as the hub lights up, but a few minutes later bigbrother is telling me that all three debian boxes are down. I did an ifconfig eth0 up and still no good, but an ifcongif down and then up brings them back online again. There were no errors recorded in log files. This only happens to the debian boxes as the redhat and the SuSe linux servers are not bothered by having the network cables missing for a minute or two. Any advice on what might be causing this would be appreciated. Thanks Daniel
Re: eth0 problem
Do the servers all have the same type of network-cards? I have a 3Com 3c900 Combo and it seems this card doesn't react anymore after some time. An ifdown+ifup brings it back again. Phil Hi Phil The card is a Netgear with a Tulip Digital 21040 chip which is what we have in the Redhat and SuSe servers and they do not behave this way. cheers Garry Regards, Daniel ___ Daniel Knights Highway Internet Services ABN: 14 088 130 269 Part of the LiSP Group http://www.lisp.com.au Servicing the Dubbo, Mudgee, Coonabarabran, Gilgandra, Warren, Wellington and surrounding areas.

changing network settings
Hi, I am new to debian and to change the network setting I edited the hosts, hostname, host.conf, networks and resolve.conf files and restarted the box. Is there a one stop shop for this like yast for SuSe or linuxconf for redhat.

rc.boot
Hi all, I have recently installed debian for the 1st time after using redhat and then SuSe for a few years. I have just installed ssh to my new Debian box and would normally add a line in rc.local for redhat or boot.local for SuSe to start sshd at boot, I presume there is an equally easy way to do this with debian but I am not having much finding it and would appreciate some advice.
