Hi all again
now i need to start DSL not in dhcp, i mean: with static IP

i launched "netcardconfig" with static IP, and it created a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

then i added this file to /home/dsl/.flietool.lst so i'm sure it'll be here next reboot

i added
"/BOOTPROTO-static"/ into ifcfg-eth0

then reboot-ed machine

and machine is again in dhcp

(how i know it? i configured ifcfg-eth0 with different ip than the one on dhcp server... and now it use the ip on dhcp.conf)

what i need to configure so i'm sure machine start with static ip???

You could come at this from the other direction and have your router assign your machine a static ip address - this is what I do with a dsl desktop I have. Basically the router looks for the dsl machine's netcard mac and assigns a fixed address to it.

Booting with static IP is discussed in the Wiki (manually adding command to /opt/bootlocal.sh).

In DSL 3.4.4 & DSL 4.0 I updated netcardconf.lua to more easily handle static IP and persisting the setup. I recommend you download the latest and try it.

ifcfg-eth0 is not used in DSL..
