This was it. Thank you and Jeremy very much for your comments and help.Introducing a "ifconfig.eth1" with the data of the old ifconfig.eth0 did the job. I now will try to add all my experiences and perhaps they add to a BLFS-Hint ( beginners experience ). Again thank you very much ! Edgar -- --------------------- Dr.-Ing.
