I may be wrong about this, but I think those Red Hat utilities only work for one card and simple setups. When you move to two nics and ip forwarding/masquerading, you leave simple behind and the scripts won't help you anymore. After all, Linux is very powerful on networking, and the scripts aren't designed to cover all circumstances, only the basics for newbies and technophobes. -- Janina Sajka, Director Technology Research and Development Governmental Relations Group American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) Email: janina at afb.net Phone: (202) 408-8175 Chair, Accessibility SIG Open Electronic Book Forum (OEBF) http://www.openebook.org
