My problem is when I use ifconfig to put it UP my whole system SLOWS Down. It almost take two to three minutes to see xemacs after the commands have been entered. When at boot it comes to "starting standard daemons: Inetd cron sendmail" the system halt for almost 4minutes like dead. My router (148.29.1.6) is not yet connected to the system. And when I turn my ed0 interface down again, everything goes to normal. I checked at boot if I had conflicts but all my irq's are well allocated.

It sounds like the system has been told (/etc/resolv.conf + /etc/host.conf) to make DNS lookups from a DNS server that is accessible only through the gateway, ...6, which is not connected. "Hanging sendmail at boot" is the classic "presenting symptom". Try reversing the order of the "bind" and "hosts" lines in /etc/host.conf, and removing the definitions of inaccessible nameservers in resolv.conf. dave -- http://www.microsoft.com/security: `Microsoft Windows NT Server is the most secure network operating system available.'
