I am trying to do a network install of Woody on an old p2 so that I can turn it into a glorified mp3 player for my company’s on hold music and messages. I can get as far as rebooting the machine through setting up the system clock and such. But it seems that when it reboots it loses its network config Because it can no longer connect to the mirror site (any mirror site). What file do I need to edit to set a proper network config, for the first portion of the Install DHCP worked to configure the network. But I could set static ips if necessary.


Make sure you have kernel support for your nic (lsmod, modconf, modprobe).

Make sure /etc/networking/interfaces is configured properly (example file or "man interfaces")

Make sure /etc/resolv.conf has your ISP's name servers listed.

Can you ping local machines by name? by number? remote machines by name? by number?
