Comment 2 Harald Hoyer 2003-11-25 14:18:26 UTC

hmm... this looks like an old bug. Do you really have Red Hat Linux 8?
which version of redhat-config-network is this?
$ rpm -q redhat-config-network
gives you the version.

You may also try this, if you have 7.x:

Comment 3 Bart Wahlgren 2003-12-03 20:15:58 UTC

Version of redhat-config is 0.9.10.2.1
OS version using uname -a is 2.4.9-e.3smp

I've been able to correct the problem by removing and reinstalling 
the NIC's. Thanks for the link I'll update the utility.
