When you exit the wizard in drakconnect wuth 'Finish' be sure to exit drakconnect itself with 'Cancel'. If you exit with 'OK' then your edits will be discarded. I have reported this same bug during the 8.2 beta, the 9.0 beta, and the 9.1beta, and it is still there. If anyone gets as frustrated by it as I do then please go to https://qa.mandrakesoft.com and vote for bug 1881 and maybe it will get fixed. If you still cannot get your settings to stick then edit /etc/modules.conf and replace the line ' alias eth0 tulip' with 'alias eth0 whatever_driver_the_new_card_uses' and edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and make sure it says ONBOOT=yes HTH derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
