I copied the files used to setup the ethernet interface(s), I left the values I use (for this host) intact as it is a internal server. Your error message about MAC address is confusing to me, my config files don't have MAC addresses in them. To check how your interfaces are configured, use 'ifconfig -a' which should list if the interfaces are up or down, their IP addresses (if any), net masks, etc. If you change your config files and want to see if they work, you can go to single user, then back to runlevel 3, that brings down the interfaces and runs the network init scripts without waiting for a complete reboot. I assume your internet facing interface (did I write that?) is connected via PPPoE, I am not familiar with a setup for that. Here is a sample ifcfg-eth0 file: NAME=mail DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR=192.168.2.2 BOOTPROTO=static ONBOOT=yes NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 DNS1=192.168.2.1 DNS2= You also need a valid /etc/resolv.conf: search silveroaks.com nameserver 192.168.2.1 and a valid /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=mail.silveroaks.com FORWARD_IPV4=no DEFRAG_IPV4=no GATEWAY=192.168.2.1 GATEWAYDEV=eth0 NISDOMAIN= IPX=no -- Charles Dostale System Administrator Silver Oaks Communications http://www.silveroaks.com 824 17th Street Moline IL USA 61265 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 309-797-9898 -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Macintosh?
