Stephen, I agree. Go back to basics. You should try to set the machine up on a static ip address and see if this makes any difference.
Also, when dealing with general networking issues, I always ask: What are the contents of these files??? /etc/hosts /etc/host.conf /etc/resolv.conf /etc/sysconfig/network /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 Cheers -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Gregg Morris Sent: Friday, January 04, 2002 7:09 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Detecting "Bringup interface eth0 problem Stephen, Three or four minutes to initialize *with* your broadband connection? That's not normal. What type of broadband connection? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks OK to me. Is there a line in your /etc/hosts file that says, "127.0.0.1 localhost" ? Preferably the first line? Do you have dhcpcd running on startup?
