I am missing the dpkg-reconfigure command to reconfigure the network

Can someone here recall that? The machine is sarge.
thanks much!





I don't know the dpkg-reconfigure command, but I do know that it's just
as easy to edit the file /etc/network/interfaces and restart the
network manually (by issuing the command '/etc/init.d/networking
restart' as root). See 'man interfaces' for details of the syntax of the
interfaces file. Useful also for those cases which are not handled by
dpkg-reconfigure.



Indeed. Thanks, friend.
