Thanks for the clarification, John. I didn't realize much of what you mentioned here. Several years ago, when I was using Road Runner, and 'pump' or 'dhcpcd' was needed, I had this same problem. It was very frustrating then, and at the moment I can't remember how I got around it. I will keep this info earmarked for the future. Glad to hear that you got everything working. Thanks, Mike, for the info! T -- Technoslick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
