Hello there, I guess the best way to find out how to configure your nic on a network is to ask the administrator, you could use ethercap thou. If you switch between different networks, consequently different nic configurations, you should do [apt-cache show intuitively], I use it and it rocks.

I think I have solved the problem. I edited my interfaces file so that when I am away from home, I use 'ifup eth0=eth0-away' and that should start dhcp. That was the easiest though not the fanciest thing to do. Fancy will have to wait until I find out more about how this works. 8) -- To UN

Here is my interfaces file, the one that works. I have tried adding the schemes and that makes things NOT work. I do not have the resolvconf package installed but even when I installed it, it did not fix the problems and besides, the laptop has a nameserver installed. BTW the gateway (a Linksys

If you're not averse to a little bit of hand editing, this is how I do it: In /etc/network/interfaces -- #iface eth0 inet dhcp iface eth0 inet static address 10.12.14.16 netmask 255.255.255.0 -- Then when I'm in a place like a hotel
