[Gllug] Linux To MS Networking

[Pete Ryland]

Don't know about Suse, but under debian, I have a file called
/etc/network/interfaces which contains the following lines for setting up my
eth0 interface under dhcp:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

This is used by the ifup program but may be distro-specific.

hth,
Pete
