hi all,
I ve installed etch in one of my sys, and am facing some issues with its
networking.
After "/etc/init.d/networking restart" the interface eth0 won't come up and
won't be visible through the "ifconfig" command
and if i try ping to some sys it says "Network is unreachable"
==============================================================
tfbsrv:/home/sumith# /etc/init.d/networking restart
Reconfiguring network interfaces...done.
tfbsrv:/home/sumith# ping 192.168.0.1
connect: Network is unreachable
tfbsrv:/home/sumith#
===============================================================
At this time ifconfig will show only Loopback and no eth0
"netstat -rn" gives nothing
===============================================================
tfbsrv:/home/sumith# ifconfig

If i reboot the sys or issue the command "ifup eth0" the interface eth0 will
come up and now i can see it through "ifconfig"
also netstat -rn gives output
