RE: [SLUG] Too many ethx ports

Apologies for top posting - this web based client does not accommodate
proper indenting.

Gerald, I am pretty sure you are using PCLOS or Mandriva with KDE.

You should be able to go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and remove the
files of the form ifcfg-ethX.  When done, use MCC -> Network & Internet to
set up your network again using (now) the only available network card eth0.
If have tested this and it works

Regards,

Rick

Subject: [SLUG] Too many ethx ports


Hi Guy's,
        How can I get rid of eth1,eth2,and just keep eth0. with no
        references to
        the other ports?
        The system is very confused and will not send/receive email with
        all the
        network ports. 
        The reason for the number of ports is because I tried a wireless
        network
        when the on board 1GB network failed that was eth0, then the
        wireless
        becane eth1 the next trail wan a 1GB Intel network card that
        became
        eth2.
        Now I want to get rid of eth0,eth1,eth2 then have eth0 only.
        The question is HOW?
        Many thanks in advance
        Gezza
