Here is what I have in /etc/sysconfig now: network_interfaces="ed1 eth0 lo0" ifconfig_ed1="inet 206.171.98.29 netmask 255.255.255.0" ifconfig_eth0="inet 206.13.17.50 206.13.17.49 netmask 255.255.255.252" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" defaultrouter=206.13.17.49 Cheers, Vince - vince@MCESTATE.COM - vince@GAIANET.NET Unix Networking Operations GaiaNet Corporation - M & C Estate Beverly Hills, California USA 90210
