I checked both those files: [root@mailgate network-scripts]# cat /etc/modules.conf alias eth0 3c59x alias usb-controller usb-uhci alias sound-slot-0 emu10k1 post-install sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -L >/dev/null 2>&1 || : pre-remove sound-slot-0 /bin/aumix-minimal -f /etc/.aumixrc -S >/dev/null 2>&1 || : alias char-major-195 nvidia and [root@mailgate network-scripts]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf # Kernel sysctl configuration file for Red Hat Linux # # For binary values, 0 is disabled, 1 is enabled. See sysctl(8) and # sysctl.conf(5) for more details. # Controls IP packet forwarding net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0 # Controls source route verification net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter = 1 # Controls the System Request debugging functionality of the kernel kernel.sysrq = 0 # Controls whether core dumps will append the PID to the core filename. # Useful for debugging multi-threaded applications. kernel.core_uses_pid = 1 #Added by me - dunno what it does :) net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 0 The messages stopped appearing when I changed net.ipv4.tcp_ecn back to 0, and ran sysctl.conf -p again. At least I'm pretty sure. Thanks, -- Jim Radford "If at first you don't succeed - change the DC"
