THen i went to that pc and pressed on the key board and then the network was ready.After a couple of times i found that it was not returning from the suspend mode though i didn't enable apmd at that time. That is actually apm -s should return after some time but unfortunately it was not returning.But this pc has the same kernel and linux version as that and it has no problems. So after a lot of times i did rpm -e apmd which erares or removes the apmd deamon and it was working properly after that .That is rm the apmd by rpm -e apmd command and the network was not giving me any trouble after that.You can try it out and tell the other guys if it works. **************** Caution: Removing apmd can cause a serious problem if it is a laptop or the system functionality is completely dependent on apmd can cause considerable damage to the system .Try this when you don't have anything important data or if you have backup.If it solves then fine if not try and try for a solution. **************** This is not the solution but this can be a help towards attaining the solution.You can identify the other problem easily. What i am doing is eliminating the symptom not the problem.Hope that soon you guys will come out with a solution .kernel version:2.4.7-10 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
