I am not sure how much I would trust GUI network configuration, especially since all it would do is write text configuration files. I remember the tool for this on SCO, and I used to give up fairly quickly and just edit the text files to get the job done faster. The problem is usually that the GUI tool has to be able to read the text configuration files to determine the currently configured state, and it only understands so much. -- Mike
