I'm relatively new to the whole Debian thing, although I've been a user of Redhat for awhile :) Anyhoo, I've used the webmin tool to setup my eth0 IP address and gateway, but every time I boot up the settings disappear. I'm forced to login and type: ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.21 route add default gw 192.168.0.1 After this everything works - so my basic question is - how do I get the NIC settings to be loaded each time I reboot? Thanks! David
