Why not just click "Do not activate eth0 at boot time" (or config it yourself in the boot up sequence? Then you can do as you wish.

Viable alternatives If I always knew ahead of time what the IP would be. Problem is that I'm moving a lot to networks where either I don't know the intended IP structure, or if I did set up once it won't be the same this time.(customer sites). Right now I've got about 6 profiles in this laptop and expect to add more.(Never knew how much I'd need a laptop till I bought one.) James On Mon, 2002-10-28 at 04:04, J.

Re: [expert] Network Profile swiching With MDK 9.0
Hi, I posted a similar msg when using my laptop with multiple profiles, I use fixed IP now so i dont get the wait problem you have (assuming that is a dhcp & DNS prob). There were some command line scripts to change the network IP etc etc or you could just use static IP and change IP with MCC.

(Unless I want to do the Windows reboot dance.) Using the profile tool in MCC doesn't work either as it keeps getting things confused and since it immediately tries to connect with the last profile I get tired of waiting 5 minutes for it to figure out it can't connect so that I can set up a new one.

[expert] Network Profile swiching With MDK 9.0
All, Trying to find a way to switch network profiles on the fly with MDK 9.0 I've found a number of them that work at boot time, but since I don't always know what I'm going to do until after a boot they are for the most part useless. (Unless I want to do the Windows reboot dance.) Using the profile tool in MCC doesn't work either as it keeps getting things confused and since it immediately tries to connect with the last profile I get tired of waiting 5 minutes for it to figure out it can't connect so that I can set up a new one. (Then when I try to switch back later it's hell all over again.) Does anyone know of a tool like the old drakprofile that just lets me make the changes and restart the network without rebooting and waiting for all kinds of "help" to time out?
