That has to be compiled into the kernel, so if it isn't already, you'd have to compile a new kernel first. I don't know if it is or not. I'm working with a currently installed system rather than trying to install a new system. > I also tried using static IP, but still have the same problem.

'ifupdown' is a pair of scripts (ifup and ifdown) which read /etc/network/interfaces to bring network interfaces up or down. The Gentoo way is to put your network information in /etc/conf.d/net.ethX and use /etc/init.d/net.ethX (where X is the same number for both) to start and stop the interface. -- Marshal Newrock, Simon's Rock College of Bard Caution: product may be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
