Thanks Randy,

Another problem is that my network card is not being recognized (SIS 930) .. I have to activate it everytime I boot the computer... could it be a problem with my 3COM card that is also present in the machine ?

Look under the directory :

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and look for a file called ifcfg-ethX (where X is the number of the SIS930, probably either 0 or 1). There should be a line that says:

ONBOOT=yes

if not, edit/add it to the file.

I double checked and the "ONBOOT=yes" is there, anyway, I had to activate manually my network card today... any further suggestion ?

Thanks, Alberto
Just to be sure we are on the same page (and not intending to insult you), there should be at least 2 files under the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts dir:
ifcfg-eth0
ifcfg-eth1

and the ONBOOT=yes is in both?

Exactly how are you activating the SIS930 after a reboot? (with ifup, ifconfig.....anything else)

Which interface is the SIS930? (eth0 or eth1)

You might try a:
dmesg |grep eth

and let us know the output. Also a cat of /etc/modules.conf may be helpful.
