Does your /etc/modprobe.conf file contain the text alias eth0 usbnet ? If not put it in. If it is already there try putting the text usbnet in the file /etc/modprobe.preload If still no luck open a terminal and enter 'dmesg' and look for the boot messages concerning your usb network interface and tell us what they are. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
