For starters, check to make sure you've actually got a link light on the back of your network card. I would be really, really surprised if you suddenly lost TWO Ethernet adapters in 2 days without frying some other part of your setup. Then do a cold power down, and on power up, check to see if the devices come up. They'll appear in your boot log, be mentioned in dmesg, and be present on the bus - look down the /proc tree. What happened 2 days ago? I've seen lots of messages that I didn't read too closely about editing configuration files. If the hardware fried, no config change will help... Can you restore from your backups to the state you were at 2 days ago and see what comes up? .../Ed -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
