Ifconfig
I have set my ifconfig (via pppoeconf) to start up a ppp and eth0 connection.
My ifconfig, when working properly, reads thus:
ifconfig

The problem is two-fold:
One: When I boot up in to Linux, it automatically connects me - twice.
I have to give "ifconfig ppp1 down" so that I've only one ppp
connection. How do I stop ppp1 from existing and have only ppp0?
Two: I need to have lo up when I boot up so that my printer works. It
used to do this: But no more. I must do "ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up" for
lo to go up. How do I get it to do this on its own?
I think it has to do with the Networking files, yes?
Thank you in advance.
