I would suggest that you try shutting down...removing one of the NIC's and restarting. Kudzu (if it's installed and run at startup) should detect hardware change. Otherwise - check /etc/modules.conf and see if there are aliases for eth0 & eth1 also check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 to see if they are properly set up...i.e. DEVICE='eth0' BOOTPROTO='none' #DHCP would be appropriate if dynamically assigned BROADCAST='192.168.1.254' #bdcasst address for subnet mask/fixed ip address IPADDR='192.168.1.1' #whatever fixed ip address you want here NETMASK='255.255.255.0' #subnet mask NETWORK='192.168.1.0' #network for subnet mask/fixed ip address ONBOOT='yes' #this is obviously important if ONBOOT is set to NO - change it to yes. Anytime you make changes to these files, you can 'ifdown eth0' and then 'ifup eth0' and /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart (or service network restart) to activate changes. Craig
