Networking :: I suspect a simple explaination

I have the following setup:

One main computer:
-XP for games etc
-wireless LAN card
-10/100 LAN card

Second minimal comp:
-DSL
-10/100 card

And theres a 10/100 switching hub between the two systems

When I boot into DSL thw networking on the DSL machine must allways be configured, It automatically runs the DHCP client even though i dont want dhcp (i want static addresses damnit!). So i have to go run netcardconfig before i can do anything.

Is there a way to have the settings saved or stop the dhcp client from interferring etc?

This would be really usefull as one of the main uses of the machine involves ftp servers and without a configured network, it just wont happen...

cheers, oscar

yes,

the nodhcp option in lilo.conf in the append section.
Do not forget to run lilo after changing lilo.conf

Hi
Yes you can save your network config. by configuring a backup device and adding lines to .filetool.lst and bootlocal.sh. You also should boot with the nodhcp option.

To .filetool.lst add the following lines if they are not already there.

opt/bootlocal.sh
etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
etc/network/interfaces
etc/resolv.conf

to /opt/bootlocal.sh add

ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 up

The additions to bootlocal.sh may no longer be necessary but some versions of DSL did not always bring up eth0.

good luck

but why if i restart dhcp still in my machine, if i ping to my client the ping say network unreachable.
i a ready put that script at filetool.lst in home direktori
/opt/bootlocal.sh
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/netwok/interfaces
/etc/resolv.conf

and in /opt direktori
ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0
echo nameserver bla bla bla bla
echo nameserver bla bla bla bla
ifconfig eth0

but that script not work's for my machine, have a solution

?
