Hi, Well, my issue wasn't two nics, but two ip addresses on one nic, neither of which was coming up. The new scripts appear to help. At least, I'm back on line, though I can't bring up both eth0 and eth0:0 on boot (unless with rc.local, perhaps). Matthew Saltzman writes: > (1) Install initscripts-8.31.2-1 from updates-testing.

That doesn't work--system just hangs without returning the shell prompt. Configuring by hand with ifconfig works. Further expirimentation indicates that putting ifcfg-eth0 back in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts is OK. I get my internal, nat'd address on boot. But, putting ifcfg-eth0:0 back causes only the eth0:0 to end up configured. Is it being reconfigured? In other words, I can't seem to auto configure two addresses on the same interface, so I have opted to load the nonroutable 192.168. address on boot, and apply the routable by hand. I may try adding a statement to rc.local--but I don't expect to do much booting with this machine. Things should just stay.
