Thanks a lot. I am pretty surprized that "There are many ways". There is, usually one recommended "debian way" . As a matter a fact, I had already edited the /etc/networks file when I wrote this message, but, not finding a dedicated way to do it, surprized me (ad in the past I have been scolded for not using the debian way..). Thanks to Meir Kriheli and Uri Sharf for their help. Cheers, Avraham
