This is just the inernal loopback device, not eth0. Try 'ifconfig -a' and see if your system even knows about your eth0 interface. If it's not listed by 'ifconfig -a', you need to load the right kernel module to get it there. If it's listed but not up, a command like 'ifconfig eth0 up 10.0.0.100' and 'route add default 10.0.0.1' may do for now. > Also, does anyone know of a tool that allows you to play audio from a > terminal?

I use 'media-sound/mpd' which is a mp3/ogg playing daemon (server), then one of the front-ends (media-sound/ncmpc is a good console client) to set up your playlist. http://www.musicpd.org for more info and a list of other frontends. -- Jim Ramsay "Me fail English?
