Here is my modules.conf file: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc alias eth0 8139too alias eth1 8139too options 8139too irq=11,3 io=0xcc00, 0xe800 This is what it is after I get my box up and running. I Know that the parport line is for the printer and I know that the alias lines are so that I can use the same driver on both cards because they are identical cards. The options line assigns the driver, IRQ, and I/O addresses to eth0 and eth1 respectively. At least that is what I understand this all to mean. This is all saved in the modules.conf file but when I shutdown and then reboot it will come up with the option line assigning the same IRQ and I/O address to both cards. Also my NIC's are not side by side but they have at least one slot between them. Everything works fine until I power down. Thanks again for any and all the help. Cliff
