RedHat 9 Network Problem
I just replaced Windows XP with RedHat 9 on one of my machines at home. My problem is that I can't connect to the network. If I specify DHCP and then try to connect I don't get any responses from my DHCP server and 'eth0' won't activate. If I specify a static IP address (i.e. 192.168.1.2) then 'eth0' will activate but I still can't get out on the network, event to ping. My network configuration consists of a Netgear 10/100 Wireless Router connected to a Cable Modem, with a Linksys Router/Switch to the Netgear Router to expand my ports. I've been running fine from all my XP Desktops through this configuration using DHCP. Any ideas would be appreciated.

assuming 192.168.1.1 is your router, you could try adding 'nameserver 192.168.1.1' to /etc/resolv.conf, running `route add default gw 192.168.1.1`, and then see if you can get anywhere -mike

Joel, Include your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and your /etc/sysconfig/network files in an email so we can see what they look like. -- Dwight A.

Also include /etc/modules.conf and the Ethernet card entry from the "/sbin/lspci -vv" output.
Still get this problem ? Try to call your ISP and ask him to reset the settting. It ussualy happens if you change the operating system between Windows and Unix/Linux. But, it ussually works fine too if you change the computer and or the operating system to Windows too, but not for other :(( After resetting, it should be fine. Regards, Aramico

I hope you tried dhcpcd, i.e. the client. :-) (I am no trying to be insulting. Just writing from experience. If there is a dumb thing out there to do, I've done it!) doug
