I'm using 0.7 version from HD.
My connection to the internet is through PPPoE, and it's
shared - I have an ADSL cable modem and a hub.

The connection configurations are at the modem, so it is
actually a home router (Alcatel).

But after each time I do reboot the internet connection
from the DSL comuter doesn't work.

I need to run each time netcardconfig.
And the saettings are the same!

Do I have something wrog?

1. after you reboot does 'ifconfig' show interface ethx ?
2. f you type 'ifconfig eth0 up' then "ifconfig' does it now show as up ?
3. if it's up in the first place can you ping your router but not resolve addresses? if yes check /etc/resolve.conf (i hope-i just started using this today) for dns servers. maybe use static address in the netconfig if your not getting it back through the router ??

oops.... assuming you are saving your config with the filetool.lst and then restoring it when you boot up ?

i am having a very similar problem with my HD install of 7.2, and i have tried your fix, but it no worky.

when i boot up, after the autodetecting devices and before the "starting automounter for floppy cdrom" it says "skipping DHCP broadcast as requested on command bootline"

since there is no command bootline, how can one request something at the command bootline?

and more importantly, how can i fix this?

i have the exact same problem (skipping DHCP broadcast as requested on command bootline") , it all started when i gave my nic a static ip addy then put it back on dhcp. have you found the answer yet?
