To clarify: I have several commonly-used network configs in my /etc/rc.config file, and often change which one I have commented out there, then restart with: # /etc/rc.d/netif restart With the revelation that /etc/rc.d/routing needs a restart, I think that probably solves the problem. -- CCD CopyWrite Chad Perrin [ http://ccd.apotheon.org ] print substr("Just another Perl hacker", 0, -2);
