I edited /etc/network/interfaces by hand before I even heard of dpkg-reconfigure. Here's my interfaces, from when I converted from static to dhcp. You'd just have to change the "dhcp" to "static", uncomment out the specifics, and change them to what ever your ISP says. $ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp # address 24.181.111.92 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # network 24.181.111.0 # broadcast 24.181.111.255 # gateway 24.181.111.1 -- +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "(Women are) like compilers.
