local IP and new MAC address

2005-05-23 Thread michael
my box as 192.168.0.5 but when I first set up Debian the local IP was 192.168.0.2. So, how do I get Debian to recognise the new IP (eg so that I can set up port redirection correctly - at the moment I have to redirect WinXP's VNC ports to 192.168.0.5 but my ssh port, for Debian, to 192.168.0.2)? Thank

how to determine why system rebooted

2005-05-25 Thread michael
I thought this would be easy to discover but I've just come back and my server has rebooted itself. From various /var/log files I can see when but I can find NO reason or even hints why. I've poked Google and peeked the Debian web pages but have come no closer to this. Any ideas? -
