Can you give an example?
'/etc/init.d/networking restart' does something like this: 'ifdown -a; ifup -a' executing this resets the TX/RX values you could edit 'networking' to do something like 'ifconfig >$mylogdir/network-state-before-reset_`date +%F`;ifdown -a;ifup -a' in order to prevent losing information greetz, Joris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
