However, it does noet appear to solve my issue. After reboot I still need to manually bring up the eth0 interface and configure it. An "ifconfig -a" only shows the loopback interface. After I do a "modprobe tulip" the eth0 interface appears as well and I only neede to assign it its IP address and gateway and everything works again. What can I do to make this automatic at boot time? Where can I find the error messages (if any) the system geenrates while booting when it fails to bring up the interface? I cannot see anything in /var/log/dmesg Thanks in advance, Alberto -- > > -----Original Message----- > From: Alberto Tobias [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, 29 October 2003 8:36 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Debian Newbie Question on Network Config > > > Hi, > > I relatively new to LInux.
