Thanks for the honest response, NOW I'm emotional! ;-P I found this at https://www.redhat.com/archives/redhat-list/2003-June/msg01124.html : "" In RedHat 9 the 169.254.0.0/16 gets added to the routing table on boot. Probably to play nicely with windows boxen. In Windows 2000+, if there is no DHCP server available, an APIPA address (169.254.x.x) is assigned. To stop RedHat from using it, try adding the following line to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files: NOZEROCONF='yes' For more info on zeroconf, see http://www.zeroconf.org/ "" This is getting toward what Matthew Gregan said in his post. Now I have a file that I can play with (an ifcfg). However, I can't restart the machine to see if it works because it's a critical server! I'm sure this question will be asked again... Coronation Street? Sheesh Nick!? Michael. --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message generated in webmail.
