Sorry, I should add that those two lines you put in should be before the for i in $interfaces; do line Wayner >>> Wpinette@xxxxxx 07/05/06 10:39 am >>> This will work only if you are using simple tcp/ip on your two interfaces. If you are using VLANS, IPX, VPNS, IPV6, or anything like that, I don't think it will work. Also, your loopback interface probably won't come up either. Personally, I think it would be safer/easier just to reconfigure your two network cards, but if you really really don't want to do that, copy your /etc/init.d/network script to /etc/init.d/network_orig edit /etc/init.d/network and look for the line that contains ./ifup $i boot (it will be there twice I think) comment this line out and put in two lines that look exactly the same only it would be ./ifup eth1 boot and ./ifup eth2 boot. This way your system still "acts" vanilla only it isn't. That's my 2 cents worth :-P Wayner P.S. This advice is only speculation I haven't actually tested it or done it. >>> omarhasan@xxxxxxxxx 07/05/06 10:28 am >>> Thank you very much for your quick reply.
