In the eth0 file i see these :

Code:

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=10.0.0.119
MTU=1500

and in eth1 i see this :

Code:

DEVICE=eth1
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.10.119
MTU=1500

What may be the issue? Please help, Also i just did a kernal update. Could that affect my ethernet settings to change? Thanks!

Ok the problem may be due to the kernel updates, You kernel may have changed some conf files and the changed files may cause this. Specially when modules.conf is changed. Go to this file and see if their aliased have not interchanged or not erased...
