Jeff:
A quick check in /var/log/messages reveals this right after I did the
network restart command you suggested:
Jan 18 15:24:30 universe pumpd[1734]: starting at Tue Jan 18 15:24:30 2000
Jan 18 15:24:41 universe pumpd[1734]: configured interface eth0
Jan 18 15:24:41 universe ifup: done.
Jan 18 15:24:41 universe network: Bringing up interface eth0 succeeded
Jan 18 15:24:42 universe ifup: SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such device
Jan 18 15:24:42 universe ifup: SIOCADDRT: Network is down
Jan 18 15:24:42 universe network: Bringing up interface eth1 succeeded
Does this point to anything?
