Thanks for your answer, the card is configured correctly, but since it's a laptop and I use it both at home and at work and at home I have a dial-up connection, to avoid hanging at boot, with drakconnect I have decided not to start it at boot. As I said, everything was fine with Mandrake 8.2, where there was a way of restarting the network (I do start the network at boottime anyway, since I need the lo interface and postfix up in any case) by passing to the command eth0 as an argument. Now this feature seems not to be there anymore there in 9.0, and I was just wondering whether this was meant to be this way (because of an alternative, but in case what is the alternative?) or a "bug" (note the "). > Have you configured your network card correctly? > Card working if I replace in ifcfg-eth0 boot=no with boot=yes, without any other intervention. Any clue anyone? Thanks Biagio
