hi, I have Debian unstable with an 2.2.19 kernel running and configured my homenetwork with ipmasq.
For the configuration of my second network card (eth1) I added some lines to the file: /etc/network/interfaces. The file looks now like this: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp auto eth1 iface eth1 inet static address 192.168.0.1 network 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 Everything is working fine now, the only thing that I don't know what to do with is, that when I shut down, Linux says: "Deconfiguring interfaces: eth1 unable to signal thread" I don't know what it means or what to do on it, maybe anyone can give me some advice. thanks, Hans
