What settings are lost?

Static IP? DNS servers/suffixes?

Static IP and DNS servers & gateway.

Put something like

Code:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 192.168.1.2
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        network 192.168.0.0
        broadcast 192.168.0.255
        gateway 192.168.0.1

in your /etc/network/interfaces
You may have different IPs, and a different interface (where I have eth0).

For the DNS servers, put

Code:

supersede domain-name-servers 134.232.433.24 45.326.47.28;

in your /etc/dhclient.conf
Obviously use valid IP address/es for your DNS server/s. If you want other interfaces to work on DHCP still, use preappend instead of supersede, but be aware that by default it will only use the 1st 3 DNS servers.

All sorted but i had to use resolve.cfg for my name-servers no joy with using dhclient.conf

thx jay.
