I >don't want to use the old one, just the new. you can try ifconfig.. man ifconfig example if your network interface card is identified as "ep0" ifconfig epo 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 or if you want to add an alias ifconfig -a ep0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 hope this helps... ____________________________________________________________________ ** Get your free E-Mail account at WWW.DIGITELONE.COM **
