I've got is partly working. I commented out the static config in

the file u:\etc\sysconfig\config.if


Then I restart the network with /etc/init.d/dhclient and that works

ok


bash-2.05a# ifconfig

lo0:    flags=0x4b<UP,BROADCAST,LOOPBACK,RUNNING>

        inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 127.0.0.255

        metric 0 mtu 16384

        in-packets  12 in-errors  0 collisions 0

        out-packets 12 out-errors 0

rtk0:   flags=0x43<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING>

        inet 192.168.0.250 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255

        metric 0 mtu 1500

        in-packets  33 in-errors  0 collisions 0

        out-packets 38 out-errors 0




However, something must have been removed from the boot scripts in

some way because after booting there was no network and I had to

manually restart the network


Any suggestions ?
