Also, you might want to check the contents of your /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules file. Is the MAC address for eth0 the same as in your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file? _______________________________________________ CentOS-virt mailing list CentOS-virt@xxxxxxxxxx http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-virt
