I agree with you that there should be anything related to the WAN mixed into resolv.conf for my configuration. > And then in my proxy box: > eth0: 192.10.10.2 > subnet: 255.255.255.0 > gateway: 192.10.10.1 On Debian this information is held in a file named "/etc/network/interface." What I'm looking for now is the file name which contains the information you told me about. What's really bothering me is that there seems to be no file named "/etc/network/interface" and I find that extremely disturbing for many reasons: 1) This file should exist 2) I'm not 100% certian if Fedora and Debian use the same name for it 3) Even if Fedora does use a different name I still should have found the file 4) Why would such a file evaporate? 5) What else am I doing wrong or not thinking about?
