Changing this to /etc/init.d/functions.sh might work but I'm not sure. > 2. Source the networking configuration.

I checked from Google and found that this file normally contains something similar to: NETWORKING=yes FORWARD_IPV4=yes HOSTNAME=deep. openna.com GATEWAY=0.0.0.0 GATEWAYDEV= What bpalogin probably wants to know about is GATEWAYDEV, but try putting all that (changing to your settings of course) into a file somewhere and point the initscript to it. If this works, great! If it doesn't, you should get more specific errors and we can go from there. ;-) Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
