I am having a problem with my Linux based gateway. I have a pentium =
133Mhz. box that I have installed ClarkConnect on. I have now been able =
to get it up and running 2 seperate  times for several days at a time =
each. My problem is that I have had to shut the box off (not for any =
reason to do with the Linux box) and when I try to reboot it I have to =
go in and reconfigure the NIC's. Is this a normal thing? I thought it =
stayed setup once you got it configured and would run the next time you =
rebooted without this hassle. The box was shutdown the first time so I =
could move plugs around to connect a printer into my wall outlet. Today =
I had no access to the internet and Cox xupport made me shut the router =
and all of my computers down and reboot them as part of the =
troubleshooting process. Like I have already asked is a Linux system =
supposed to require reconfiguration every time it has to be rebooted or =
have I failed to save my config files maybe? If anyone could give me =
some insight on this I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Cliff
