Hey, Been gone awhile -- moved to a new apartment. Then, my adsl/phone providor had told me that they could just move the service from one address to another & would be working by the 28th of last month. Turns out that the adsl department disagreed but didn't bother to tell anyone that they don't do moves of service. So, I had to wait another week for them to get round to setting up the service as if it were an initial order. Anyway, now I'm back up & using my XP box. Why can't I use my Linux box? Well, for some reason, eth1 won't work. I've wasted all sorts of time today trying to get it to, but it simply won't -- keeps coming up "No such device", even when I set multi (using multicast, as RH supports it, & I only have the one nic in the box -- & it ~was~ working). Now, I've only a little time before I have to shower for work. Anyone know what could keep eth1 from working? Maybe I'm not entering the correct commands: In no particular order: ifconfig eth1 interface route add -net 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 dev eth1 (my adsl router is 10.0.0.1) ifconfig multicast Anyway, I'd taken a look at linuxconf, & it was showing eth1 with a 192.... address. Changed it, & there's no change -- I still get: eth1 No such device. I hate 'puters.
