I am trying to get my Toshiba Satellite, running Kubuntu (Breezy Badger), to be able to connect to two seperate networks - one at home, using a fixed ip address and the other at the 'office' using dhcp.
I have tried various apps including 'netenv' and 'guessnet' also a cobbled script that someone suggested; but nothing works :-(
Is there someone who has done this successfuly?
I think that the problem is in the original [Kubuntu] /etc/network/interfaces where there is a non-standard entry:
Code:
# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# This is a list of hotpluggable network interfaces.
# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
The last part about 'mapping hotplug' and 'script grep' are the non-standard parts.
Could this be a part of the problem?
BTW. I have a pcmcia network lan card.
TIA
