Hi Since you are using debian you should try to add your setup to /etc/netwrk/interfaces, that file does not have the same syntax as the one you are using below, but fairly close, try man interfaces for the syntax. If that doesn't work create a file in /etc/init.d/ called mynet that contains the line "pump -i eth0 --status" (without the quotes of course), then symlink this file into rcS.d, like so: cd /etc/rcS.d; ln -s ../init.d/mynet S40mynet of course the choise of the filename is your own. This should get you network in all runlevels. /Peter Toneby On Wed, Oct 31, 2001 at 04:27:43AM -0600, Cheryl Homiak wrote: > Ok, my cable modem connection seems to be working fine as far as it goes; > I am including here what I get when I enter "pump -i eth0 --status" since > the output is relatively short.
