Ben, you can reply to me privately and we can keep this going if you want. In the mean time, here's what I'd recomend: eth1 problems: Do you have a DIFFERENT machine on the local network with a dhcp/bootp server? If not, then of COUSE ifuping would fail when the adappter is not statically assigned. If you DO, does the logs on the dhcp server show anything? CD-ROM problem: 1) Please post your /etc/fstab 2) verify that it contains a line similiar to this one: /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 3) What error message are you getting? > > > > _______________________________________________ > Redhat-list mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list > _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
