You can make it go away with this entry in /etc/sysconfig/network: NOZEROCONF=yes Then restart the network service ... "service network restart" (or reboot the machine) However, this does remove some functionality. For more info about zeroconf and what it can do see: http://files.zeroconf.org/draft-ietf-zeroconf-ipv4-linklocal.txt and http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/06/15/2012219 ------------- If your network is properly configured, you should be able to turn off Zeroconf with no problems. <snip> Thanks, Johnny Hughes
