Is there a easy way to do that?

If you understand my >question and know the answer, please help. :-) If the notebook is using a PCMCIA card to connect to the local network, package pcmcia-cs contains a program, cardctl, which you can use to tell the notebook which system you are attached to.
For example: `cardctl scheme eca' when I'm visiting that company or `cardctl scheme lfix' when I come home. The command sets up the IP address and other parameters as appropriate and can be configured very flexibly. I use it to change /etc/hosts and /etc/fstab, to mount external drives through Samba, configure printing and so on. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP: 1024R/32B8FAA1: 97 EA 1D 47 72 3F 28 47 6B 7E 39 CC 56 E4 C1 47 GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my thoughts.
