Hello, ... I have juste reinstalled my debian box using the test woody boot floppies.
It worked rather well, apart from a few glithces i will post to debian-boot nextly. But i was disctracted, i think, when asked about internet configuration, and as thus got a dynamic IP address from some server on the network. Since then, i changed the /etc/network/interfaces file to be the same as on the old install, and when runnning /etc/init.d/networking restart, ifconfig shows that the correct IP address is used. But after a small time, i don't know why, the dynamic IP address is again taken. What is the reason for that, is there any (debian-specific) doc on disabling dynamic IP and reverting to the normal behavior ? Any help is welcome, htis is really annoying, as altough it works fine for me, mail and other exterior connections cannot reach me :((( Friendly, Sven Luther
