Hi Folks,

   I am sending this again as it doesn't seem to have reached the list.

   Not when I type: ifconfig

   There is a listing when I type: ifconfig -a
but there is no address given.

Lo    Link encap:Local Loopback
      LOOPBACK  MTU:3925  Metric:1
      RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
      TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
      collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

   Is this what is broken ?

Regards,
