The reason I ask is because the static IP address in ifcfg-eth0 is 192.168.1.6 - I hope it is just a typo. Now, the error message is normally caused when there is another machine on the network using the IP address. I have never seen dual booting cause this problem. The MAC address should be the same in both OS's. Some information about your network would probably help. What machines are on it. Are they all using static IP addresses? Could the DHCP server, if you are using one, have already given the address out to another machine? Mike -- No boom today... boom tomorrow. There's always a boom tomorrow. - Susan Ivanova B5
