You should have a file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo which reads as follows: DEVICE=lo IPADDR=127.0.0.1 NETMASK=255.0.0.0 NETWORK=127.0.0.0 # If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian, # you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example) BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes NAME=loopback And you should have an file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 which reads as follows (using dhcp, adjust as needed): # Intel Corp.|82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (LOM) DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=dhcp HWADDR=00:0D:60:10:75:35 ONBOOT=no TYPE=Ethernet DHCP_HOSTNAME=myname USERCTL=yes PEERDNS=yes As an alternative you can use redhat-config-network's new option to create an entry for your ethernet card. Or you can delete all ifcfg-* files in the network-scripts directory, than create the new ones as described above and adjust it using the redhat-config-network's edit function. > > If I do cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and do ls, what I can see is > that file (ifcfg-lo.rpmsave) but it is surrounded by a brownish-red > background which is flashing.
