Hi again, When I used neat the last time, it said I had more cards than I really had. ifconfig -a reported correctly tho', and so I ignored the extra card reported by neat. (See what I previously wrote below.)
This is only perhaps now more evidence that neat is broken and in real need of repair, since I then (perhaps foolishly) used it to swap eth0 and eth1.... After rebooting (to make iptables work), the system now hangs at "bringing up eth0:" and at "bringing up eth1:". I have to use interactive startup to get to a shell, or Ctrl+Alt+Delete after it hangs to reboot so I can enter interactive startup. I then tried swapping them back, again using neat, but to no avail (go figure?). ifconfig -a still reports both cards' MAC addresses as the same values which neat reports (well, I'd stop using it, but I had no way of verifying -- besides, this *could* be useful info, right?). I'm now writing this from one of the WinXP boxen the RH7.2 machine is meant to protect. Fun stuff. So do I have to reinstall, again, like I have been doing for something like 30 times now? I'm getting particularly good at that part, and I'd be able to fix my partition sizes without knowing how to resize a ext3 partition as I asked in a previous post.... "Frustration leads to beer.

I just ran neat and it lists 3 network cards on the hardware tab. The problem is I only have 2 installed on the computer. ifconfig -a says I only have 2 (the correct ones), and neat does not have the 3rd device listed on the devices tab, although I can add it (name appears as eth2 in the select list). It then has zeros for its MAC address. I would assume I can delete this card, but my previous troubles began after rebooting when I did the same thing (removed non-existent one via neat), and then *none* of my NICs appeared in ifconfig -a, nor did either card transmit any data (no ping, not listed in ifconfig -a, zero MAC addresses in neat), although the lights were on on the cards and on the hubs, and both cards are currently working. What is going on here? Could someone please help so I can stop reinstalling RH7.2 every other day? Thanks Again!!
