You shouldn't really rely on the ethX numbering remaining the same, they can change at any time. It depends on what interface comes up first. To refer to the interface in scripts you can use the eth-id or give it a PERSISTENT_NAME ( http://www-uxsup.csx.cam.ac.uk/pub/doc/suse/suse9.3/suselinux-adminguide_en/sec.basicnet.manconf.html ) _ Benjamin Weber -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
