If I understand you correctly, lets go for #2 ... Open Terminal session, su -, then: gedit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 change HWADDR=xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx, to HWADDR=00:A0:CC:5F:7B:A1 gedit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ONBOOT=yes change to ONBOOT=no /sbin/service network restart mii-tool - to check link dhclient eth0 (but shouldn't be needed) _______________________________________________ Mid-Hudson Valley Linux Users Group http://mhvlug.org http://mhvlug.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mhvlug Upcoming Meetings (6pm - 8pm) MHVLS Auditorium Jun 4 - Sqeak! and eToys Jul 2 - KVM (Tenative) Aug 6 - Zenos Sep 3 - TBD
