Network startup

I now have things working on a machine but I had to manually configure
the network cards. It looks like the default from the CD is to
use serial/PPP to connect to the Internet.

Here is the sequence that I used to get the cards configured.
nettrap -v "this was to determine if anything would be detected
slay io-net
slay dhcp.client
io-net -del900 -dspeedo -p tcpip
dhcp.client -i en0 -m

Before I did this I could do ifconfig -A and show the interfaces.
After the above I don’t get anything but Voyager and the internet
repository now
work.

How do I get my system to automatically (during the boot sequence)
correctly
configure my network card and get and IP address from dhcp?

System Info:
Compaq Deskpro w/Pentium 200
ethernet 3c905 and Intel 10/100XL (both were detected, only one
connected)

Hi Larry,

Have you tried using Phlip to configure your cards yet? If you
want to have something run on startup you can create a rc.local
file in your /etc/rc.d/ directory. Make sure that it is executable
(chmod +x rc.local). You can put what ever you want to startup in
here, however I suggest looking into the phlip util first.

Erick.
