I'm a long time RHL user and I just installed fedora. I have a cable modem connected to eth0 which uses dhcp. eth1 (static 192.168.1.1) goes to a hub and then 2 other computers 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.3 I can connect anywhere on the net using eth0 (including this list thank God!). I can ping eth1 OK. ping the other 2 PC's says "icmp_seq=0 Destination Host Unreachable" the other PC's pinging me have same result. service network start :reports no errors. ifup eth1 reports: "RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument" I have narrowed that down to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-routes line 33 handle_file $file $1 put an echo in and $file is "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1" and $1 is "eth1" the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/route-eth1 [root@zozo network-scripts]# cat route-eth1 GATEWAY0=192.168.1.1 NETMASK0=255.255.255.0 ADDRESS0=192.168.1.3 I don't know what the ADDRESS0 item but it doesn't look right, I changed it to 192.168.1.1 and that didn't help. What do these values in route-eth1 need to be? What else can I look for? I already verified that it is not a firewall issue. BTW: all this worked before the re-install. Thanks. Dennis
