If so, change the commands in modem lights accordingly. For example, if you called your ISP "highstream" when you set up the modem, change /sbin/ifup ppp0 to /sbin/ifup highstream For example, I called my ISP "Mindspring", so the commands I use in that modem lights applet are /sbin/ifup Mindspring /sbin/ifdown Mindspring If you don't remember what you called your ISP, open up a shell window and type: ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg* You should see something like this: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Mindspring Pick the thing after the last dash that isn't eth0 or lo :) -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry teacher, Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
