Internet Connection not present at startup
 

I have to manually start the internet when i turn on my computer by the following commands:

ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx broadcast xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0

and

route add default gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Of course with numbers though. After that all is good, but i have to do it everytime.
Isnt there a way to set it so it does it automatically?
THanks

Sure ... just depends on what your distro is ...

manually start the interne
 

Your distro probably has RP adlsl.
You can find out at the terminal by doing a "locate adsl"
At the terminal as root or su, type "adsl-setup"
just fill in the blanks and look for a line that asks if you want to connect at boot.
or after adsl-setup type "adsl-start" to start
and "adsl-stop" to disconnect
and ::adsl-status" to see status
I am not sure what "adsl-connect" does but that is another command for RP adsl

You didnt say what distro you are using but it should have a control panel that
you can also set up you internet connection to connect at boot.
