I am getting to the crux of the problem now. I think its a bug in the ifupdown program. If I do /etc/init.d/networking stop ifup -a then it fails to bring up eth0 properly If I do /etc/init.d/networking stop dhclient eth0 then the interface is brought up properly. Since /etc/networking/interfaces has iface eth0 inet dhcp then something seems wrong with ifup! -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
