While I am having a few issues here, I think I should tackle this one first,
as it may be the root of my troubles.
I have just installed RH 7.1 on my toshiba tecra 8100 laptop with pretty
much no troubles. I have configured eth0 (which holds a xircom PCMCIA 10bt
ethernet card that appears to be recognized by the machine) with netcfg to
reflect my network settings (most values copied from a functional RH 6.2 box
on the same network - both DHCP). I can browse the internet, no problem via
the card in eth0 (cable modem accessed through the lan) but when the OS
starts up i get the following message:
Bringing up interface eth0 Delaying eth0 initialization [FAILED]
Yet, if I type /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
everything restarts including eth0. This is confusing to me because if it
restarts here, and I can get internet access without running the above
command, then WHY DID IT SAY FAILED IN THE FIRST PLACE????
My other problem, which may be related is that SAMBA is also running on this
machine. I believe I configured samba correctly, and this RH 7.1 machine is
listed in Network Neighborhood (WIN 98SE) but double clicking on the icon
for this machine produces the windows error dialog box with: "The computer
or sharename could not be found please make sure you typed it correctly . .
."
Perhaps another issue all together, but wanted to mention this as well since
my samba trouble might be rooted in the original issue.
Thank you in advance for any feedback.
