Re: Different addresses @ boot time

[Jude DaShiell <jdashiel@shellworld.net>]

Remove dhcp from the programs that run perhaps by uninstalling it and find 
something else to run in its place.  dhclient is intended only for dynamic 
host not static operations.  Once that's done, get all of the information 
needed to answer any of ifconfig's questions and run ifconfig with the 
necessary command line parameters.  Once you do that, ifconfig eth0 up if 
it finds your static address should work.  What file you need to backup in 
order to ensure this setting is preserved I don't know.
