Well, it is "auto lo", not "auto lo eth0". And the last line in the file MUST be ifup eth0, IF your interface shows up when you execute ifconfig -a as eth0.

Finally, try this:  Add these lines after:  "iface lo inet loopback"

mapping hotplug
             script grep
             map eth0

Good luck, jimbo

It does.

Tried it, still nothing.

I give up now. What the heck, I'll just keep netcardconfigure-ing manually every time.

Thank you jimbo62 and SaidinUnleashed for your time and effort.

Arsan,

I had exactly the same problem as you have, and thanks to this thead, I've solved it.
The missing bit was in the FAQ link given earlier. As you guessed, you need to deactivate DHCP broadcast, by starting DSL with the "nodhcp" cheatcode.
The easiest way is to add this to lilo.conf (last parameter):
Code Sample
# append=""
append="hda=scsi hdb=scsi hdc=scsi hdd=scsi hde=scsi hdf=scsi hdg=scsi hdh=scsi apm=power-off nomce noapic nodhcp"


I hope this helps, as your thread helped me ;-)

Ben

Yes, that solves the problem! Great, thank you Ben!

I disregarded the "Boot the CD..." part in the FAQ because I don't boot from the CD... Silly me. :)

For the benefit of other newbies with the same problem:

1) lilo.conf is located in etc/ (took me some time to find it! :) )

2) after making changes to this file one must run the comand "lilo" as root ("sudo lilo" in my case) so that the system takes notice of the changes made (the first time I failed to do it and during the reboot DHCP broadcast was still there)
