Please set your mail client to wrap at 72 characters. Just edit - /etc/network/interfaces Take a look at "man interfaces" It should look something like - iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.10.7 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.10.0 broadcast 192.168.10.255 gateway 192.168.10.1 depending on your configuration. Then run - # /etc/init.d/networking restart That should do it. hth, kent -- >From seeing and seeing the seeing has become so exhausted First line of "The Panther" - R. M. Rilke
