Hi all, A fuse blew last night taking out the power supply to the server with my new debian linux installation.:-( On reboot this morning, the second NIC wasn't present so I had to modprobe /lib/...tulip.o, then ifconfig eth1, then route add, then ipfwadm -F -p deny and finally ipfwadm -F -a m -S 10.0.0.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0. All works now. But what have I omitted to do so that the server does all this on reboot automatically? Thanks in advance, Patrick
