Lets see, Im aware that "shut" an interface when I unplug the network cable is a stupid thing to do. But im not asking about this. Im asking about to "tear down" the protocol of the interface, so I can loose all the routes of this link and the traffic switch directly to second isp. I don?t care really if I unplug the cable the Ethernet card remains up, I need the routes disappear in order to switch to the other isp. I has nothing to deal with Microsoft, linux or whatever. Like this mail say, when you make a show int in cisco routers there's a link state and a protocol state. If protocol goes down (one reason could be unplug the cable) the routes are lost. This is what I need, and additional to this, some distributions shows in the console a link notice and some don?t, I assume this is related to the nic driver. -----Mensaje original----- De: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] En nombre de Hudson Delbert J Contr 61 CS/SCBN Enviado el: Viernes, 11 de Junio de 2004 12:48 Para: 'netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' Asunto: RE: off topic - hope somebody can help i think cisco's 'show interface' commands are a model of what s/be displayed. these displays delinate between the functionality of the physical interface and the protocol that should operating on them. ~piranha@usaf -----Original Message----- From: netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:netfilter-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Antony Stone Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 5:01 AM To: netfilter@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: off topic - hope somebody can help On Friday 11 June 2004 12:42 pm, Gavin Hamill wrote: > On Friday 11 June 2004 12:29, Antony Stone wrote: > > Why shouldn't it?

Glad to know that no matter how hard I try, Microsoft still manages to exceed my expectations of their inept design concepts. Antony. -- I think, therefore I am. I'm pink, therefore I'm Spam.
