Ok I've been playing around with redhat 7.2 for a while now I finailly got My network cards to work the way I want them to. I have 2 network cards one is connected directly to my laptop the other is connected to a home network, until I go back to collage then it will be connected to the realy internet. Being that I hate reconfiguring everything when I get home and want to be able to have linux grab a dhcp address for eth0 (internet) and if that doesn't work grab an address like 192.168.0.6 (home network) Windows XP has this feature built in (and that is really my goal to replace windows as my primary OS) is there some clever (or no so clever) way to do this? --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
