Re: DSL problems

ifup did not get me to the gateway or show the gateway with the route -n 
command.  I also couldnt get the NIC configured on boot because I had an 
improper line in the /etc/modules file.  (BTW if I have 2 NICs how no you 
define which is eth0 and eth1,  by order in the modules file?)  when I got 
home I looked in my modules file and found the error.  With the NIC coming 
up at boot I hope the resolv.conf and interfaces files will be read and do 
their magic.

No I didn't go to bed, I got thrown out of the school and barely had enough 
time to pack-up my stuff.  I'll let you know tomorrow if it all 
worked.  Thanks for your help up to now.
