If so, get to a root shell prompt, and do the following: service network stop cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts mv ifcfg-eth0 ifcfg-tmp mv ifcfg-eth1 ifcfg-eth0 mv ifcfg-tmp ifcfg-eth1 # now swap the actual network cables (don't type this line :) ) service network start Unless you've got something referencing the actual network interfaces -- which is unusual, most things use IP addresses -- this should work fine. The one question mark might be the firewall. If needed, you can reconfigure it using the command: system-config-securitylevel You will also need to edit the ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1 files to actually say DEVICE=eth0 and DEVICE=eth1 respectively. Since udev is on by default (at least in FC8), you will need to edit /etc/udev/... (Mike ODonnell mentioned this in another post). You may also find /etc/modules.conf needs editing. I do a grep -r eth0 /etc/* to find all the relevant places when I need to do this sort of thing.
