Lost internet connection after editing rc.inet2


I was commenting out stuff in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet2 and now I cannot connect to internet, apperently I commented out the wrong things. I set them back exactly how they were and even copied a backup of rc.inet2 that I made over the changed one and that didnt work. I think it has something to do with fstab but im not sure. I have already done chmod 755 rc.portmap and that did nothing. HELP, I take it back, I dont like changing files by hand, lol. I had to post this from XP, yuk.

Got it working. All I had to do is overwrite rc.M with rc.M.new. I could not track down why the original rc.M was bad. I compared it to another one on my other slack box and it was the same, maybe one character deleted or something while I was editing.
Such simple fix and took so long to figure out. Oh well now I know something new.
