This is the second time today I've read a reply that avises people to live on crutches rather than learn about the system they employ. Disregard the aforementioned crutch, linuxconf. Instead, report to us the current setup you have. Are you running slink? potato? What does the file in /etc/debian_version tell you? If you're running slink, you need to edit your network configuration in /etc/init.d/network. If you're using > potato, your network is started in /etc/init.d/networking, which uses /etc/network/interfaces to define the interface configuration. You can set up networking WITHOUT either of these! Read the manual pages on ifconfig(8) and route(8). If you have advanced routing packages installed, read the manual pages on ip(8). Now. Also read the HOWTO's on networking from http://www.linuxdoc.org or install them locally with apt-get install one of the following (inserted with apt-cache search HOWTO): task-doc - General documentation task-newbie-help - New user documentation doc-linux-html - Linux HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, and FAQs in HTML format doc-linux-text - Linux HOWTOs, mini-HOWTOs, and FAQs in ASCII format If you install the tasks, they will give you (inserted with apt-cache depends task-doc task-newbie-help): task-doc Depends: doc-debian Depends: doc-base |Depends: dwww Depends: dhelp |Depends: doc-linux-text Depends: doc-linux-html Depends: less |Depends: lynx lynx-cur lynx-ssl |Depends: links Depends: w3m Depends: menu Depends: sysadmin-guide task-newbie-help Depends: less Depends: mc Depends: lynx lynx-cur lynx-ssl Depends: doc-base Depends: menu Depends: debian-guide Depends: ldp-ligs TIP...
