Okay, now that's freaky. Faced with this, I'd go delete all interfaces from MCC, remove any .old or whatever, then make new config files by hand and write a quick script or two to swap them around. One last thing to try before all that is watching the dhcp session with ethereal or tcpdump, I still think it isn't communicating with the DHCP server. -- Jack Coates Monkeynoodle: A Scientific Venture...
