Well it tells me that you only have a dial up connection. Your Eth0 interface is not there. Have you tried going through the wizard in drakconnect? Is the correct driver being loaded? Is there a line starting "alias eth0" in the /etc/modules.conf file? What make of ethernet interface is this? derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
