Network configuration during startup

Derada · 08-13-2006, 09:12 PM

I am using Debian Sarge, linux kernel 2.4.27. My computer connects to the internet via an ethernet card, but every time I reboot, the network settings also get wiped. I use dhcclient to set up the network configuration, so is there any way I can make the computer do that while it's booting?

Thanks.

Just edit /etc/network/interfaces and make sure there is a line that says:

Code:

iface eth0 inet dhcp

Then add "eth0" (without the quotes) to the line starting with "auto" so that it will look like:

Code:

auto lo eth0

That should fix your problem.
