Thank you. > Stephen Doty Try, as root: /sbin/service network restart If it now works, you have the same problem most laptop users have: pcmcia starts after networking. It has to start before or it will fail. If it gives an error, it's possible the driver is all mixed up. You can, as root: /sbin/service pcmcia restart; /sbin/service network restart If that doesn't work, might as well ignore the rest of this because something else is likely wrong. If either or both of those work, you can renumber things to fix everything up. The files you need to change are in /etc/rc?.d with the "?" being for the runlevel you use. It's 3 if you text login, 5 if you graphic login. On mine, it's /etc/rc3.d so that's what I'll work with. There are 2 things for some things in there. An "S" indicates start, a "K" is for kill. You're interested in the "S" versions. In my case S10network is one, and S24pcmcia is the other. Obviously, since these things happen in numerical order, networking gets started first. Since you have a pcmcia board, it won't find it when it needs it, so networking won't start. You need to renumber. It's your decision which to change, but I'd personally change pcmcia instead of networking so nothing else will get mixed up. It's simple to do. As root: mv /etc/rc3.d/S24pcmcia /etc/rc3.d/S09pcmcia All done. Now it will start when you boot. Just don't forget to change the 3 to a 5 in the rc?.d parts if you login graphically. -- What we really need is a moment of science in public schools. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
