Could you please supply the output of 'ifconfig -a' (/sbin/ifconfig , if /sbin is not in your PATH)? If you have a card there which is not "UP" then you should define its configuration in /etc/network/interfaces (see interfaces (5) ) If you only see 'eth0' there then you should either set up /etc/modules (a list of mudules which are loaded automatically) or load the modules manually with 'modprobe' BTW: In the future, please avoid an ALL CAPS subject, unless you really think that it is worth SHOUTING. -- Tzafrir Cohen /"\ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign Taub 229, 04-829-3942 X Against HTML Mail http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir / \
