Check for a typo where you got the 'et0', that's not a normal name (emX, ethX, pXpY and wlanX are the usual).
As for a general comment/guide; make sure you've updated the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-X files (note the DEVICE="..." and HWADDR="..." lines). Here's a general guide for renaming devices under EL6 (inc. CentOS 6.3, which I rename NICs under often without trouble). digimer On 09/27/2012 01:19 AM, KNOPS Manfred wrote: > Hello, > > My name is Manfred.
