    PITA Static net conf

    Since I am so used to other distros, I am having a bit of problem setting up a static address with an IBM Thinkpad Laptop.


    lsmod shows the module being loaded "3c59x"

    I am unable to get the /etc/network/interfaces config. to stick.

    At present, it is:


    auto lo loopback
    iface lo inet loopback

    iface eth0 inet static
    address 208.71.x.y
    netmask 255.255.255.z
    gateway 208.771.a.b


    This is directly from the DS3 downstairs ... via a 55mbit Mitrik router.

    The other thing is; how in hell can i change the "sudo" command with the good old "su" password: type prompt. I just cant get used to typing sudo everytime
