Gerald, I am pretty sure you are using PCLOS or Mandriva with KDE. You should be able to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and remove the files of the form ifcfg-ethX. When done, use MCC -> Network & Internet to set up your network again using (now) the only available network card eth0. If have tested this and it works Regards, Rick Original Message: ----------------- From: Gerald [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2008 07:14:43 +1000 To: slug@slug.org.au Subject: [SLUG] Too many ethx ports Hi Guy's, How can I get rid of eth1,eth2,and just keep eth0. with no references to the other ports? The system is very confused and will not send/receive email with all the network ports. The reason for the number of ports is because I tried a wireless network when the on board 1GB network failed that was eth0, then the wireless becane eth1 the next trail wan a 1GB Intel network card that became eth2. Now I want to get rid of eth0,eth1,eth2 then have eth0 only. The question is HOW?
