22 I assisted somebody experiencing the same problem recently. The cause
23 was simple: the individual concerned had added a runscript to the boot
24 runlevel, whereas it should have been added to the default runlevel
25 (net.eth0 in this particular case). You could run "find /etc/runlevels"
26 and check to see if you have done something similar.
