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?

I only have one of them, the ifcfg-eth0 file and it has the ONBOOT=yes

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

Actually it the SIS630 is from other computer, the one giving trouble is the 3COM. I activate the network card with the "network device control" utility under "system tools" of the KDE

Which interface is the SIS930?  (eth0 or eth1)

The 3COM is eth0:1

You might try a:
   dmesg |grep eth

nothing appeared

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

the /etc/modules.conf

alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 3c59x
alias usb-controller usb-ohci
alias usb-controller1 ehci-hcd

Thanks

Alberto
