Well since i did the online upgrade this weekend (updating to the lastest stuff for 7.1 on suse site) I have a broken network when i boot using the 2.4 kernal. can get outside of my house when using 2,18 kernal. Can someone suggest where / what to look for to get the network stuff working under the 2,4 kernal. Before the upgrade all was working just fine in both kernals. jack Jack Malone jack@malone.tyler.com http://www.ballistic.com/~jemalone Luke 4:18-19 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." (NIV)
