Sounds right. I would try commenting out the HWADDR line and reboot. This is only because I mistrust anything I don't understand :) and I have never figured out why this would be necessary although I sure there is an application for it. then look in /var/log messages for anything eth related: grep eth /var/log/messages should get you close. Do you get a link light on the card? Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
