[wellylug] Configuring a WiFi & Cable home network

[Adam Bogacki]

Hi,  I have the internet cable running to a XH9948 DSE WLAB 802.11g
4-port router
feeding one WiFi  and one cable connection at home.

I have a static account with www.paradise.net.nz.

My  desktop has a statically configured card (eth0) to which the cable
previously
connected, and a dynamically configured card (eth1) which I intend to
use with the router.

Both cards are recognised by "ifconfig -a"

WiFi is no problem.

I have had eth1 working together with WiFi using
a combination of

route add 255.255.255.0 dev eth1
dhcpd start eth1
[or "service dhcpd start"]

but on reboot it does not work.

What am I missing here ?
