You won't need to modify /etc/modprobe.conf if you're only swapping IP configurations between logical devices. And swapping both will cancel-out the config changes. Bruce currently has something like the following: SOHO router = onboard, named eth0, configured as 192.168.1.0/24, default gateway HDHomeRun = card, named eth1, configured as 10.0.0.0/24 He wants swap the devices connected to the NICs. That's a physical change, and is the whole point of this. :) So after the cable swap, we have this: HDHomeRun = onboard, named eth0, configured as 192.168.1.0/24, default gateway SOHO router = card, named eth1, configured as 10.0.0.0/24 Now the problem is, his system will still be trying to talk to the Internet using the cable that's plugged into his tuner, and MythTV will be trying to find the tuner where the router is. That won't work at all. My suggestion (modulo the forgotten config edit) is swap the configuration being applied to the logical device names. The result would be: HDHomeRun = onboard, named eth0, configured as 10.0.0.0/24 SOHO router = card, named eth1, configured as 192.168.1.0/24, default gateway The other approach, originally suggested by MOD, would be to swap the names the kernel is assigning to the devices: SOHO router = onboard, named eth1, configured as 192.168.1.0/24, default gateway HDHomeRun = card, named eth0, configured as 10.0.0.0/24 Thinking about it, I actually like the later method better, as it bypasses any firewall/DHCP/etc config file changes to update devices. You just change what each device is being called. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
