I was referring to the persistent udev rules. I follow the KISS (Keep it Simple and Stupid) rule and make the change in one and only one place; the udev persistent rules. I guess you are using a Fedora/RHEL distro, removing the MAC address line in ifcfg-eth* files should work after making the change in the udev persistent rule. -- Arun Khan -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
