so, i ended up doing the following: edit /etc/sysconfig/network adding the following lines:
GATEWAYDEV="eth0" GATEWAY="192.168.1.1" edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to read: DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR=192.168.1.2 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes using static ip address. now in the configuration for the router i set the start ip address to be 192.168.1.2 so my machine is reachable... and i set NETWORK=192.168.0.0 in ifcfg-lo the end. anyone see anything potentially wrong with these settings? especially teh ifcfg-lo file. is it ok that i reset the network value in this file. so far all seems to be working well.... --- David Krings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I have the Linksys router and have some > difficulties with the dhcp part.
