Network problem

Hi,
I setup linux using server optio. I then installed webmin for easy configuration from windows machine. The problem i am facing is that when my linux box boots my network is unreachable. I have to login as root and manually tupe ifup lo, ifup eth0 and ifup eth1. My network is then up and running. Why is this problem so. Any service to be auto started. Please explaing procedure in detail. i am a newbie to linux trying to setup a caching server.

Perhaps you can put those commands in the file /etc/conf.d/local.start
That should execute them right before you reach the log in prompt.

A bit of information on which Distro
you're using would be helpful :) since
they differ quite significantly in their
strtup scripts and setups.
