Alright, alright, I got it straightened out... Ben Black <black@zen.cypher.net> chided me for making typos, and when I researched backwards how they got introduced, I realized I'd been operating under a bad assumption. ( prepare dunce cap, and rotten tomatoes ) As I had mentioned in an ealier message, I had used /stand/sysinstall to set up the interface after a kernel rebuild. I presumed that tis would do 'the right things' WRT setting up the neccessary chunks of /etc/sysconfig. Nope, don't work that way. I had this interesting pastiche of ifconfig-isms, which built up a useless interface. As this box was utterly non-configured, I elected to reinstall from scratch, using the visual config mode of the boot floppy to chuck _all_ extraneous devices, and to explicitly change the probe for the ep0 interface. And away it went, flawlessly. Life goes on... Thanks one and all for your help, I really needed the feedback... -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert reichert@numachi.com 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path
