Your suspicion was correct. I replaced the one in use with the one from ifconfig. Unfortunately that did not fix the problem. I need a tutorial on assigning MAC addresses, as they are inconsistent on the server and client. Is it correct that the MAC address is the same as HWADDR in the ifcfg file? And why would the value change when the hardware did not?
