Dear List,
I connect and disconnect to the internet using etc/init.d/networking start|stop. When I switch on my PC, DHCP automatically gets connected at startup. How can I avoid this?
I am using Debian Sarge.
well, there are two things you can actually do. One is disable the initialization of the interface at startup ( see Harsh Busa's email ). The second is to disable networking completely. For this, use update-rc.d utility. See the man page for more info.
