At least IPADDR and NETMASK should really be there...
He is using DHCP.
With that he should not manually assign the information you ask for. He also should not assign the nameservers by default unless his admin has messed up the dhcp config and it is not handing out addresses and other required information properly.
However one line that is missing from his file that is in mine by default is " ONBOOT='yes' " This tells the system to activate the interface at boot time.
Well, I found out what my problem was.
Somehow it the process of trying to make a new Wireless card ( Linksys WPC11 ) work, I
had swapped back in a different RBE100 nic ( I have several ).
Evidently, the differences in the MAC address made it "bite the big one".
I removed the card, also in the network configation and did some power up/down cycles
and eventually the system figured out the it had a different nic.
I really wasted a bunch of time on this one.
Now its back to trying to make Alsa work on this 390X..... not an easy task.
I hope that this may help out someone else.
Thanks,
