First and most important: get rid of linuxconf, if you've never used, please, don't!!!! Second: Affter the first solution, it's been quite easy to keep my connection on mdk9.0 adsl. But, do you use rp-pppoe? My ex-linuxconf used to keep every dynamic IP it got, so after a while or a reboot, it would be impossible to get connected!!! Looking into linuxconf, there were 6 nic cards!?!? And I got only TWO! Guess what happened if I just disable a single one? No connection again! So, my last and best shot so far was doing a complete, comprehensive rpm -e linuxconf.... Everytime I had to issue the command: ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 then adsl-start and have all the joy! Everything is just fine since then... []s Ricardo > Well here we are guys, this is an email coming from my mandrake > system!
