Are you running GENERIC or is it your own? Clearly the ifconfig in the startup script works fine, so the issue is why does the ifconfig you enter manually fail? What state is the process in while it's hung? (top(1) or CTRL-T will provide this.) Can it be interrupted by a signal (CTRL-C), kill, or 'kill -9'? There was really not much information in your message with which to guess what might be happening. -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
