IIRC, this is a common problem when multiple NICs are in place. IIRC, one way is to include params in /etc/modules.conf (used to be - now modprob.conf?). But an easier way, I think is to modify /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0/ to include something like HWADDR=00:01:80:3B:58:A9 replacing the hexidecimal numbers with the MAC address of your card. I think this new-fangled GUI stuff has a way to do it with a panel. > > eric > <snip sig stuff> HTH -- Bill -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
