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.
-----------------------------------------------------
The GUI said it is active... (?) how can i be sure?
'service network restart' fails on bringing up eth0... so i
guess thats my problem
-----------------------------------------------------
thats one to chew on, i have been anyhow.

My latest problem is just the opposite, when I attempt to shut down or
reboot FC1, it hangs when it reaches
"Shutting down interface eth0"
I have to power down to get past this.
Once again, this was working fine a few days ago.
Any ideas?
TIA
