Define "appropriately"...
Definition = Copied from a latop on the same network, except with different IP :-)
# /etc/network/interfaces -- blah blah # The loopback interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The First NIC - Created by me manually, coz the install has NFI iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255 gateway 192.168.0.1
Make sure that "network" in /etc/rc2.d/ is actually starting.
Did this (I think) by creating the sym' link; S40networking -> ../init.d/networking Hope this is right... got this frm finding same in rcS.d
Anyway seems to be starting, as I get the mesage at boot; Configuring network interfaces: ifup : interface lo already configured done.
