Hi I typed a wrong IP address 104.X.X.X instead of 194.X.X.X, so I had to change it - and did it manually in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ draknet_conf draknet_conf.default net_resolve.default (BTW - why must I go here to add more DNS)
I rebooted - no network. I used linuxconf to change and restart eth0 and got out. Later I checked in 1) /etc/linuxconf/archive/Office/etc/host-client.v and manually changed it 2) /etc/linuxconf/archive/Home-Office/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.v and manually change it. I thought the Unix way was one text file and every program was to find all it needed in that file. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.2 Cooker kernel-2.4.16.9mdk-1-1mdk version:2001:12:14:05:04
