Thank you very much for answering. The following way seams to work: # ifdown eth0; rmmod eepro100; ifup eth0 (As you can see it is not a cheap network card but I have seen the same problem to RTL network cards) I don't know for sure yet as I have to run a 8+ hours test to make sure but if I won't send another message about it, it will mean that it worked. many thanks to all of you, Mihalis. ----- :wq -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
