Hi All,
Two problems/questions I have at the moment:
1. I use a laptop between home and work. Static IP at home and a dhcp
connection to an ipcop firewall at home. I'd like to be able to type
something like "ifup eth0-home" or "if-up eth0-work" rather than what I
do at the moment, which is to edit /etc/network/interfaces and restart
networking. I have tried this in that file, but to no avail so far:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)
# The loopback interface
auto lo
auto eth0
iface lo inet loopback
# Mapping for different network locations
mapping eth0
script /usr/local/sbin/dc_map_scheme.sh
map HOME eth0-home
map WORK eth0-work
iface eth0-home inet dhcp
iface eth0-work inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
network x.x.x.x
broadcast x.x.x.x
gateway x.x.x.x
------------------------------------
My script does bugger all other than echo that it is trying to do
something - could that be the problem? Simple I'm sure...
2. When I do change networks, I need to change my smarthost, otherwise
the uni mail server rejects stuff from my ISP. I can change the config
files in /etc/exim4 and run the update-exim4.conf script, but is there
an easier way?
Thanks,
Denis
