Thanks for the replies. I finally got it sorted out. I had intended to add "USERCTL=yes" and even put that in my post, but what I had actually entered into my ifcfg-eth0 was "USRCTL=yes" Just a stupid typo that had my scratching my head for a couple of hours. Maybe I should consider a new pair of glasses. :oops: Jim -- This is an email sent via the webforum on http://fcp.homelinux.org
