Many linux distros support persistent naming these days. Therefore, there is some record that in the past eth0 had mac X. Now it that sees an interface with mac Y, it assumes its a new interface and renames it something unique. I am assuming this is the behavior you are seeing. > > My windows xp seems to boot without a problem when specifying another > mac addr > Out of curiosity, does Windows rename it to "Local Connection 2" (etc) when you change the mac addr? > Did you guys have that problem yet ? How can I fix it please ? If its the problem I am describing, do a google search for where debian maintains its persistence data and blow it away (or adjust the record for eth0 to have your new mac) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
