Hello all,
Well, the first time I installed Linux everything went great for about a
week until eth0 stopped working and I lost networking. I posted this
problem to the list but did not get answers. I poked around in inetd.conf,
network configurator, and linux.conf and finally decided (since I ruled out
my ethernet card or cable being the problem) to do a reinstall.
So, my reinstalled from scratch: Linux 5.1 works great, even has Apache
running httpd fine. Today when I boot up the system (I leave it off until
I've applied all the security patches, and I was busy last week) I have the
same symptoms, eth0 doesn't work. I can try to activate the interface using
netconfig, but that does not work (though it claims eth0 is active until I
save and then rerun network configurator).
So, are there suggestions to solve this? I've read through the RedHat
errata, system admin guide, and net admin guide, but I so far have not
found a solution to this problem.
Dmesg doesn't show anything with eth0 delaying loading.
This is a bit time critical since I have work to do by Wednesday that
requires telnetting ....
Thanks,
