you were absolutely right, the problem was eth0 was not seen by udev. from LFS SVN-20071223/chapter07/network.html (section 7.13) I ran /lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces and then did cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules I discovered that the net device was seen as eth1. I changed it to eth0 and it is now working. thanks for all your help. > > And a last thing. > Please try to avoid top posting (I've fixed it up for you) and not to break > threading by opening new threads in every of your answers. > > It helps the readers of this list to help you solve your problem. > > Regards, > > Ag. > -- > http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/Hacking __________________________________________________________ Hundreds of free games from Tiscali Play - http://www.tiscali.co.uk/play -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
