anybody's hairpiece melt? toaster spewing jello? thought not. (just think of the money we coulda made on the media panic!) -- DEBIAN NEWBIE TIP #21 from Will Trillich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : Looking to configure your Debian NETWORK SETTINGS? Look at the file /etc/network/interfaces (try "man interfaces" for more info). Then "ifup -a" to reload your settings, and "ifconfig" to display them. (Also check out "apt-get install ipmasq"!)
