I really like v1.3 and have got it hooked to my XP machine and happlily browsing files in LinNeighborhood, but the DSL box loses its NIC settings and I have to reset them at each start up.

How can I get these settings to stick without doing the netcardconfig thing every time?

Thanks in advance

the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks ok like:

DEVICE=eth0
IPADDR=192.168.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT=yes

apparently the settings are stored in file /etc/network/interfaces
and when I run ifup eth0 it loads the settings.

question is can I make this happen at startup?

thanks
