In fact, I've always argued that DECnet handles multiple connections to the same LAN much better than IP ever did, mostly because it addresses nodes rather than networks or interfaces. Uh... I would argue that that would be a very bad thing, as it means you'll have two interfaces with the same mac address... Sitting on the same network. I'm pretty sure I even have seen some DECnet documentation that just says "not supported", or even stronger words...

I ripped it out of Debian and used file entries in /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/resolv.conf I have no idea if Ubuntu will spit it's brain out if you try that on 12.04 as it's ver dependent on it in the GUI. -- Mark Benson http://markbenson.org/blog http://twitter.com/MDBenson On 28 Aug 2012, at 13:37, Mark Wickens <mark at wickensonline.co.uk> wrote: I think I've found it.
