    Dear managers,

    thanks for the overwhelming response again. Andrew_Rotramel@cch-lis.com
    suggested to put the ifconfig line in the rc3.d directory. This most
    likely would have worked, since I could plump up the interface manually
    after reboot without a problem. However, most others recommended to use
    hostnames (versus ipaddresses) in /etc/hostname.XXX and have
    corresponding entries in /etc/hosts. It seems that the scripts that run
    at bootup get confused and do not plump up the interfaces automatically
    if they not not have a hostname for the ipaddresses.

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards,

        Andreas
