Baruch, thank you for your great tips, although they didn't help me in this case.
But after a long investigation, I found the "criminal": pump! Although there is no DHCP server, and although a static IP is defined, it insists on turning off eth0. Since it is running as a daemon, the fact that my commands which setup eth0 are running AFTER the launcher of pump doesn't help. So the only workarounds: 1. Add the flag "nodhcp" to the boot params (but this workaround requires booting it manually, which is not a real option usually). 2. Run "pump -k" before setting up eth0. -- Eli Marmor [EMAIL PROTECTED] Netmask (El-Mar) Internet Technologies Ltd. __________________________________________________________ Tel.: +972-9-766-1020 8 Yad-Harutzim St. Fax.: +972-9-766-1314 P.O.B. 7004 Mobile: +972-50-5237338 Kfar-Saba 44641, Israel ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
