Thanks!!  That is too funny!! I was expecting "/etc/init.d/network start" to start eth0.  No such luck. I issued "ifup eth0" and the message says it was starting p4p2.  Now I can ping out side the box. I'm not sure how much selinux effects this, however it was enabled so I disabled it.  Thank you for your help!!

The p4p2 is your new eth0 - it is bus identified so those with multiple NIC don't face musical chairs with which NIC gets to eth0 first. It is a feature - sorry.  see: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ConsistentNetworkDeviceNaming > --------------------------------------------------- > PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org > To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: > http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
