Just kill dhclient process (or reboot). Since you changed the BOOTPROTO to none, the ifup/ifdown script don't know that they need to stop dhclient so it continues to run. The better sequence would be 1. ifdown eth0 - kills dhclient 2. change BOOTPROTO to none 3. ifup eth0 HTH, Pavel. > > Thanks > > John > > > > > -- > Shrike-list mailing list > Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx > https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list > -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
