Greetings, Thanks to everyone's help I am pretty much up and running :) And I finally bought a book "Running Linux", it's been a lot of help too.
I created a file etc/init.d/network that configures my ethernet network. It seem to work well, I haven't found any problems with connections yet. But, I have to run this file manually as superuser to start my network. I can't seem to find any start up scripts that would use this file. What script file should this routine be called from so that my network gets configured at boot time? Many Thanks Jeff
