Actually the ifconfig and the route worked perfectly. I remembered the ifconfig but was forgetting the route. Now on my other machines I usually put these statements in the rc.local file to work on boot-up. But there doesn't seem to be one in debian, or am I just blind and missing it? If there isn't, what file should I put these statements in?
