What package should I install which creates this script? I remember answering questions about networking when I installed but I think I skipped them or something and now don't know how to re-do them. Thanks Mark.

Thanks Mark. /etc/init.d/network was the old script used in slink.You've been reading some old docs.Not applicable anymore. Now in potato you ahve the daemon /etc/init.d/networking which starts/stops/restarts ALL interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces for a description of the file) ,and for individual interfaces you use ifup/ifdown interface -also based on /etc/network/interfaces . This is the original file that was included while potato was still unstable,with examples in the file.It has been since dumped in the favour of not_so_easily_to_be_found man interfaces . - ## # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) # # A # character in the very first column makes the rest of the line # be ignored. Blank lines are ignored.

Re: Howto setup eth0
Hallo Mircea! Pardon me for intruding your thread. /etc/init.d/network was the old script used in slink.You've been reading some old docs.Not applicable anymore. Now in potato you ahve the daemon /etc/init.d/networking which starts/stops/restarts ALL interfaces listed in /etc/network/interfaces (man interfaces for a description of the file) ,and for individual interfaces you use ifup/ifdown interface -also based on /etc/network/interfaces . 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
