This is a resumption of my previous thread. I have now installed the

Was it a clean install or was it an upgrade?


As regards the ethernet interfaces, nothing
seems to have changed. At present, I am running eth0 at 192.168.1.13.
Unless I apply David Hodgin's fix at each logout, I have to start the next
higher numbered interface manually.

In the following, it seems that the
service in /etc/init.d is avahi-daemon,

Yes, the dump_net script is a general purpose script to run on different
releases and different distributions and I had to use a general rule
to see if it is running.

not simply avahi, and the line in
chkconfig --list is:

avahi-daemon 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:on 4:off 5:on 6:off

Get into the the Mandriva Control Center and remove the check mark in
the On Boot for the avahi-daemon service.

The daemon is running. No, I didn't remove the list. I don't know why it
wasn't inserted.

My, fault, I was souping up the script, 2007.1 Spring came out and I
played in it for a week and I never got back to testing my changes. :(

Would you like to see any in particular?

Yes, results from
cat /etc/iftab

cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=dougshost.douglaidlaw.net

You can turn off IPV6 if you want.

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING_IPV6=no <===========
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
HOSTNAME=wb.home.invalid
NEEDHOSTNAME=no
NETWORKING=yes

Looks like you have a fair sized network. :)
$ host douglaidlaw.net
douglaidlaw.net has address 202.60.80.37

I did not see/remember David Hodgin's fix but do a
rm /var/lib/dhcp/dhclient-eth1.leases
