i need to use these commands to be able to bridge through my alcatel home dsl pro modem ....

Your broadcast should be something like 10.0.0.255 and your netmask should be something like 255.255.255.0

(probably)

hi, well i've configured my ADSL modem to bridge the connection ... can find how it works here if you can read dutch

http://jp.dhs.org/~jp/

the only way i can initialize my card is too type the commands in manualy but that breaks the script (samba and xinetd wont load if /etc/init.d/net.eth0 doesn't initialize properly)

i rebooted my box and see that the problem is in the 2 "route" commands... because if after the reboot i "ifconfig eth0 up" it initiazes with the correct settings...

i need to run

i was thinking of removing gateway from "/etc/conf.d/net"

and adding the route commands to the end of "/etc/conf.d/local.start" will that break my firewall script ? if it runs before local.start ?

You might be able to put a script to /etc/init.d/ and add it with rc-update. If the script comes before your firewall script (in an alphabetical sense), this might do what you need.

i commented the gateway settings out /etc/conf.d/net and added them to the local script ... it initializes correctly now ... thanks guys
