Hi Jeroen (lol), hi all,What did you add there?
Fishy stuff. I have the same issue, similar config Core 1 on a Sony Vaio PCG-C1VE, xircom pcmcia eth adapter (lunix status: newbie)
Tried adding the sujested lines in
'/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0', issue stands
The adapter is configured by DHCP so minimal information is used in that file.
-------------------
DHCP: i should get all info, ip, subnet, dns, and gateway.
This works. The ip eth0 receives is from the pool gw, dns and subnet are ok.
The laptop even shows up in the dhcp client list of the (US robotics
-cheapo, but working)router.
In the dhcp client list the hostname shown for the laptop is: "25924
8242:136" (Can i change this?)
Change that on the DHCP server end.
I have mentioned this before, and your line above says it. The sequence of starting the services is at fault here.everything is looking great so far When i try to ping my gateway, i get "Destination host unreachable" *I think dhcp packets are sent using UDP, apparently that works, could it be a problem with icmp or tcp?
When i boot the laptop i get an error when it tries to initialize the network interface. something like "xircom_cb eth0 not present, delaying initialisation" -I use a xircom pcmcia adater as i have no network on board. *During startup pcmcia is initialised after eth0 fails to initialise.
Since pcmcia services are not by default started until after the network is started you see this failure.
If you go into /etc/rcX.d and change the sequence of these services starting the problem with failing to start the network will be fixed.
As far as the ping failing, have you verified the eth0 adapter is initialized and running.?
"serivce network restart" as root will handle that usually if not already up.
thats one to chew on, i have been anyhow.
Cheers, Jeroen

Hi,
RH 9.0 and Fedora Core 1 have a similar problem with some network cards. I found the following solution:
Add to the configuration file '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0':
check_link_down() { return 1; }
If you indeed have the same problem, this should work.

I can only ping localhost, every other IP gives "Network unreachable". Defining a static IP in the GUI of redhat-config-network doesn't change a thing (and my ISP works with dynamic IPs anyway, so I don't think I need

In the GUI-interface for redhat-config-network, I selected "automatically obtain IP adress settings with DHCP", so I should get my DNS information from there. But even if I do specify the domain of my ISP, and a primary and secondary nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf, I still
