hi, am getting now a little closer to this weird thing :
have now changed the network-cards. eth1 is now eth0 (3c905TX) and then I made the same copy - result - errors old eth0 (3c905B) running now as eth0 standalone does not make any problems. think, but it's only an idea - that 3c905B and 3c905TX are NOT so compatibel for running in one motherboard. anyway - a new ethercard as eth1 should do the job. thanks to all for helping me and giving ideas and hints bye hans _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
