Is this machine directly on the net and serving to the public? usually if you have a machine on a lan, behind a router/firewall of some kind, you just change the "gateway" portion of a simple iface specification, or if running dhcp, just ifdown/up it to get new addresses from the dhcp server. hth A > b. > > ================================= > > #cat /etc/network/interfaces > > # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system > # and how to activate them.
