Hello,

I'm just trying out Knoppix 5. I have it installed on my laptop hard drive. To connect to the wired router at home I have to run network card config on eth0 - which fails - and then eth1, which works. I have to do it in that order and run 0 before 1. How can I get dhcp to connect me during boot up, and how can I get it to read properly from eth1? Running net card config on just eth1 does not seem to work without running eth0 first.

Here is my /eetc/network/interfaces file.

# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(, ifdown(

# The loopback interface
# automatically added when upgrading
auto lo eth0 eth1
iface lo inet loopback


iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.34
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.1.1
broadcast 192.168.1.255
gateway 192.168.1.1

iface dsl-provider inet ppp
provider dsl-provider

iface eth1 inet dhcp
