        In order to be able to login into the system from the network again
we have to issue the following commands from the
        system console:


> #ifconfig nr0 remove
> #ifconfig nr0 (check if the 2 interfaces exists)
> #ifconfig nr0 add alt0,alt1
> #ifconfig nr0
> #nr0: flags=c63<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,MULTICAST,SIMPLEX>
> NetRAIN Attached Interfaces: ( alt0 alt1 ) Active Interface: ( alt0 )
> inet 172.20.76.13 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 172.20.76.255 ipmtu 1500
>
>
> Now my question is, in which file and how NetRAIN is defined? If someone
> has the same configuration can please send me a sample file.
