Our router is not transparent, it has it's own DHCP server and uses NAT
in forwarding packets to individual hosts. Eth0 was going to be my
internal NIC, but I'll have to go through the howtos again before I
tackle the DHCP server config. I seem to have gotten the connection to
stay up now, but it still has to be started manually after boot up, and
there are some syslog entries that have me a little concerned...if
anyone is bored enough to take a look :) Thanks for the help anyway.

This set of entries seems to appear a number of times. I attempted to
bring up the connection with /sbin/ifup eth1, but that did not seem to
work, so I used Mandrake control centre tools to 'connect'. 8139 is the
model number of the card in eth1. ne2k-pci is the driver for eth0 I
think.

I can't work out why these entries appear over and over again, but it
seemed a little sus, so I thought I might post them and see what someone
on the list thinks.
