If you look at the ifconfig display for eth1 and eth2 you will notice that you have not assigned them an IP address. You need to create files called /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 and ifcfg-eth2 containing for example DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=static IPADRR=192.168.0.11 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.255 ONBOOT=yes Then do 'service network restart' in a root terminal. alternatively just go through the connection GUI in Mandrake Control centre. It will do the same thing. derek BTW: Please remove the "Reply To" in your mail client. (Second time of asking) -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
