"swap interfaces" reboots machine...
« on: May 24, 2008, 04:50:37 pm »
Just did a fresh install from the DVD.  During the first boot, I go messages saying "device 1 has bad mac address" and no network access.  Using the Web Administrator, I went to the network page.  MCE had the interfaces reversed and when I press "swap interfaces" the computer reboots.  Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes this is normal... LinuxMCE will reboot when you change the network configuration.

Thanks for the input, but I don't remember the former version of MCE rebooting in order to change interfaces.  And, after the reboot, the interfaces remain the same.

I think the reboot was brought in after Beta4... might be wrong about that though. As to the interfaces not getting swapped... I would suggest a check on Mantis to see if that is a known/reported issue and if not add a Mantis for it.

All the best#
