-- Can't speak for the rest but I can deduce based on my own experience that the HWADDR shouldn't be the same as the cable modems. That should be unique to your NIC AFAIK. (argh isn't there a word wrap in Evo?!) I had to do "ifconfig up eth0" then run MCC's silly wizard to get connected after toggling "expert" mode in there & setting up my gateway config properly too. PITA. Took me 10Min's to figure that out! ------ Femme *************************** *Using Evolution on * *Mandrake 9.1 & Loving it!* Suck it M$hit! OWNED! * ***************************
