Question about eth0

Hi,

For some reason when I go into the Networking Control I see the
following:

eth0 Active
eth0-old Avtive
eth1 Avtive
eth1-old Active

I had originally backed up those files because I made changes. I
moved them later and put them in a backup directory. I cannot seem to
inavtivate the -old ones. All my networking seems to work fine. But,
why the extra items? I want to remove them.....

Is there a file I am missing that I should change??

Thanks!

With all the (simple) problems that you keep posting about, perhaps you
should just stick with Windoze.

With the wonderful attitude you have, perhaps you should stick to
sucking on your mothers toes.......

Here the basic instructions to post reasonable questions in a
Linux newsgroup: If unsure always tell, which distribution
you're using. Things like "Networking Control" are highly
unspecific. Every distribution is different, in how it does
system configuration.

Now while I appreciate, that you're adopting the *nix
philosophy "every thing is a file", it would be worthwile, to
tell us, where exactly you found those files. Because: Network
devices are about the few exceptions, where no direct file
representation exists (well there are some in procfs and sysfs,
but you normally don't bother with those).

So I guess, you've got some stale configuration files somewhere
on your system. But without knowing, which distribution you use,
it's hard to give sensible advice on how to proceed.

Can't tell you without knowing which distribution you use. But
what I can tell, it's not Gentoo.
