Hi, Thanks Sark, trouble is though, there is no script, I create the dummy interface manually with ifconfig. I thought a /etc/init.d/network restart would remove the dummy0 interface too but its still there. There is no ifconfig delete that relates to removing an interface. Has anyone managed to remove a dummy interface?
Have you tried "ifconfig dummy0 0.0.0.0"?

I've tried: ifconfig dummy0 down, this disables it but it remains in the list. /etc/init.d/network restart and it still remains Any help much appreciated.
