I have a box with ClarkConnect (based on Redhat 7.2 I think) installed =
on it. It has two identical NIC's installed. I use it as a =
gateway/router for my LAN. Today I suffered a power outage and when my =
box rebooted it would not allow me access to the Internet. when I =
checked the config file for the NIC settings it shows the same IRQ and =
I/O addresses for each one. I have a couple questions:

1. For a box with *nix installed and is rebooted, and it doesn't matter =
whether it was a power loss or a normal shutdown, is it normal for it to =
lose the configuration settings for a NIC? Is there someway I can fix =
this so that the settings are permanent?

2. At the next Installfest what would I need to bring with me so that I =
can have someone help me verify all my settings? I would like to use =
this as a router and web server so that I can park some web pages on it.

Anyway, I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions you may have. =
Thanks, Cliff
