Yeah that does sound like you were thinking more of the porttype config. Porttype access definitely lets the Linux guest configure things without explicitly setting up the VLAN 8021q driver . Porttype trunk looks like it does require the guest to be VLAN aware, though we don't have any configured in our lab to really check how you'd configure Linux for it. As far as I know the VLAN support is independent of the layer2/layer3 mode. Hmm ... about the original network connection problem ... does "query virtual nic detail" on the linux guest show any kind of discrepancies? - Mark Ver office: Building 710 / Room 2-RF-10 phone: (845) 435-7794 [tie 8 295-7794] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
