Yes, I was attempting it..or at least attempting to get some message other than the one I got and am still getting with the wired connection unplugged. Anyway, with the ethernet unplugged and just wireless I'm still getting the same error message about the external eth0 not ready. Which leads me to believe that Dennis might have been onto something a while back about his setup. I think it was ethx.1 or something like that. So, do I redo things and try again using that kind of notation and another ifchg file? thanks! ttfn John -- This communication is sent to you from a Microsoft free computer running Mandriva Linux 2005 LE.
