eth0 is a semi-virtual interface. There is not actual eth0 driver, rather eth0 is "provided" by the actual ethernet driver. I may be wrong here (and I'm sure someone will correct me if I am) but I believe you can do a 'modprobe pcnet32' and then do ifconfig eth0 up 1.2.3.4 Otherwise add the following line to /etc/modules.conf: alias eth0 pcnet32 later, joseph -- the "LaterDude" ICQ: 52640402 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ice-works.com/personal/LaterDude/index.html All opinions expressed are my own and not necessarily those of my employer unless otherwise noted.
