The eth0 device was assigned an IP according to its MAC address and now it does not work, it says that it is active. When I shut down the machine it gave me some weird message which I do not know how to get since I am sending this email from the other machine which has internet access in my classroom. Is there a way to solve this issue? TIA Antonio ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
