Thanks Kevin, I checked the modules.conf file and it had this line in it: options 8139too irq=11,11 io=0xcc00,0xcc00 I changed it to read: options 8139too irq=11,3 io=0xcc00,0xe800 and then I saved it and made sure it was saved by re-opening it. The second line is what it should have been reading after I used the console to configure my NIC's as that is what I entered there. Anyway, I hope that this is now going to stay setup this way and to be sure I am going to shut it down and reboot it so if I don't come back then everyone can say a prayer for this Penguin cause I'ma going to shoot it if it fails me now hehehe. :) If anyone can think of something wrong with my plans please let me know soon. Thanks, Cliff
