Still no luck. ifcfg-ctc file is now: DEVICE=ctc0 BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=172.16.18.130 NETMASK=255.255.255.128 ONBOOT=yes REMIP=172.16.18.129 GATEWAY=172.16.18.129 MTU=1500
network was whittled down back to the three lines... on reboot ifconfig ctc0 still shows that netmask is 255.255.255.255 and mtu is 32767. oh well, Daniel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: >Daniel, > >Ah, I missed something.
