Any other ideas?
Silly question... You are root right? I don't see the # prompt. Can we also see parts of /var/log/syslog with pump relevant info? The output from ifconfig, /etc/network/interfaces and /proc/modules would be helpfull. Cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr to make sure it's one now too please. --mike
