Thanks Craig, my NIC's are not in side by side slots. They are separated by
one or two empty slots. They share the same driver but they each have an
alias in the modules.config file. What I have to do to get my box back up
and working after a shutdown is to go into the modules.config file and
replace the IRQ and I/O address for eth1 to the proper values. For some
reason they always reset to the same as eth0, Thanks again,   Cliff
