Login as root and # ifconfig
You should see the interfaces eth0 thru eth? Insure they are sending and receiving packets, if they exist. If they don't exist, check your /var/log/boot.log and see why they didn't initialize. I've seen some Nics just don't initialize properly on startup even though the driver loads correctly. It maybe a certain brand or version of a nic.

It is really driving me crazy now as I am not able to make any link between the problem and the way I solve it. I have been facing the problem for quite some time. In my private network, I have 4 routers. The routers have been configured properly by setting the IP addr of the interfaces, gateways where ever neccessary and proper subnet mask. When I boot up the routers, I am unable to ping to any of the routers. I am unable to ping to the default route also. What happens next is very strange. I open the network configuration tool, look up all the setting without modifying any entry. Click on apply and then type the command 'service network restart'. Once the network is restarted, if I try to ping to the any router / default router it works. I have checked the network scripts for the interfaces and all the neccessary interfaces have 'OnBoot=yes'. I have been checking the log files also. Everything seems normal. I get one warning message "xinetd: warning: cant get client address: Transport endpoint is not connected" The cables are all connected and are working fine as the green light is on. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciate, Thanks, Rahul. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
