Is this a laptop? Is this wired or not? If it's wired, and not a laptop, I'd shut down avahi-daemon and chkconfig it off (and the same with NetworkMangler, er, Manager), and see what happens. Another possibility, if wired, check your patch cord, and make sure it's plugged in securely at both ends. mark
