From my /etc/sysconfig file: network_interfaces="cuaa1 lnc0 lo0" ifconfig_cuaa1="inet 206.161.179.129 netmask 255.255.255.224" ifconfig_lnc0="inet 206.161.179.129 netmask 255.255.255.224 mtu 1006" ifconfig_lo0="inet localhost" The only thing I have changed in months has been the mtu setting, and that was because of some messing around that my ISP did. These settings have always worked fine, as you can see by visiting my site (URL in my sig). In fact, I am at this moment answering via Netscape 3's newsreader in Win 3.1 (for a specific reason) on one of the computers in my subnet. Seems to still be working fine. -- Ken Are you interested in | byte-sized education | http://www.play-hookey.com over the Internet? |
