Dear friends, I used to use drakprofile to change the network configuration in my laptop from my house (conected to muy desktop computer and sharing the modem-cable conection using ip masquering) and my work (a lan direct-conection). But drakprofile can't run under 9.0, in fact it has dissapeared of the distribution :-(
So until today I had to plug-on the computer, and when changing from home to the work or viceversa I had to star netconf (DrakConf..> internet conection) and change the ip, gw ...an so on. But now I have made two script to do that, just I need to run one of them, the appropriate, (casa -for home- or universidad -for my job-) as root and immediately i have avaliable the internet. Of course I just need to run the other the first time after have changed my location. I have a Toshiba Satellite 4090XCDT with a pcmcia (pc-net compatible) eth card (eth0). Those are the script contents: CASA ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up route add -net 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0 route add default gw 192.168.1.1 eth0 UNIVERSIDAD ifconfig eth0 155.54.0.119 netmask 255.255.240.0 up route add -net 155.54.0.0 netmask 255.255.240.0 eth0 route add default gw 155.54.1.200 eth0 As I have mentioned in some previous messages about this subject, I think that for new Mandrake users a program to do that automatically, similar to drakprofile, could be very interesting; I am not a programmer, but it seems so simply for one experimented of the Mandrake team create a front-end for the initial configuration and then for switching between the 2 or more created profiles. Is a thing that will be very good for our wonderfull Mandrake. Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
