-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 If gooey config still doesn't work, look in /etc/sysconfig/network.

My eth0 and Cox@Home have been working for so long, I forget what I did. :-\ Ron On Thursday 30 August 2001 23:11, David Rankin wrote: > Guy, > > I think your still a bit confused about what civileme was saying. > From my recollection of your original post, you initially had your > system configured to use your modem to access the internet.
