thanks for the reply. i had 0 little luck playing with the interfaces file, so after many hours of swapping cards, and trying different permutations of assignments of eth0 and eth1, i did a fresh potato install. this time more success but i'm not quite there yet. basically i configure eth1 as the interface to the lan. this works fine. and, this is done at boot via the normal process (i.e., configured as specified in /etc/networking/interfaces). then i install dhcpcd. from the cli if i issue "dhcpcd -h cxXXXXXX eth0" then the connection gets configured correctly. i can ping external machines as well as local machines, so both eth0 and eth1 work. now i'm trying to figure out the best way to automate this. i think my problems the last few days were in the sequencing of configuring the following mix of things eth1 - lan eth0 - dhcp firewall script the latter runs some masqing of the lan and has to run immediately after eth0 is assigned an ip (so that the external connection is configured correctly in the fw). any suggestions of how to do this the proper (i.e., debian) way within the context of the bootup scripts? thanks, serge -- Sergio J.
