It's a default that is used if no other address is given to the card. > I know M$ puts in the same when dhcp fails No, they don't. It's the card's firmware that puts it in. This happens regardless of the OS. If you're seeing this, it means that your card isn't being configured on startup. Not by DHCP, not by /etc/sysconfig/whatever, not by anything. Interestingly, I had pretty much the same issue when I tried Fedora 12 on my old tower PC here. But CENT 5.4 works fine. Never found out why, I just switched to CENTOS. Maybe it had to do with the Evil NetworkManager, which was installed by default on Fedora but not on CENT. Ken
