The unfriendly tone of the original poster aside, could you enlighten me on this? I coincidentally had a problem with ifplugd too, today. After restarting my firewall machine, the eth0 interface (which is connected to the ADSL modem) came up without problems, but the eth1 (connected to the internal network) came 'up' without any ip address assigned. The only way to get things back to normal was killing the ifplugd process for eth1, and using ifconfig to manually configure it. (I couldn't do this until the ifplufd was stopped) I think this problem started when I tried messing around with setting up a DHCP daemon on that machine (read: I know it's my own fault), but I disabled the dhcp a while ago, and it was not running when the problem occured today. (or: But I don't know what I did wrong) thanks, Wouter
