Search the list archives for this subject: "startup while not connected to the net" It has a pair of scripts for alternate boot methods. However, it uses an environmental variable set as a boot option to tell the net.eth0 startup which network to boot with. You should be able to set this environmental variable manually, then start or restart net.eth0 and it should come up right. In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.
