Problems with network configuration

[Mark Phillips]

FYI - I am running a Debian distro, and the file is 
/etc/network/interfaces. The man page for interfaces describes how to make 
the changes need.

Thanks!

In RH you have to edit the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX files 
to
change their setup permanently.  I don't know where it is stored in other 
distros.
