I agree with this and i would prefer them here as well however about 6 months ago i had a problem where the routes would not apply when the card was up and neither i nor anyone on the list at the time could figure out why. Some kind soul offered me the bootmisc.sh advice which worked at the time and got me out of a bind. Your question appeared to be of simmilar concern so in the true spirit i shared the knowledge. :) if you look for the thread in the archives about 6-12 months ago, it should answer some more of your queries. regards -Matt ------------------------------------------------------- Core Networks BH:+61 3 97506642 AH: 0407836506 Computer Sales & Service Network Installations & Service Consolidating Internet access company wide, reduces costs! ask us how!! ========================================================
