If not cd into the /usr/src/linux/drivers dir or the /lib/modules/ dir and look for the corect driver, use modprobe driver to test. If you run ifconfig does it have an IP address. also check the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth? file it should look like this: You could just use mine as a sample and edit according to you network: # Broadcom Corporation|BCM4401 100Base-T DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=192.168.2.255 HWADDR=00:C0:9F:3A:85:89 IPADDR=192.168.2.5 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.2.0 ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet Then run service network restart and try again. If you still can't win try service iptables off if that fixes it the you need to setup your iptables That quite easy for ping you use icmp, nfs uses udp and most others use tcp then add a line like this to your /etc/sysconfig/iptables file -A INPUT -m icmp -p icmp -i eth0 -j ACCEPT and to ping out -A OUTPUT -m icmp -p icmp -o eth0 -j ACCEPT you can also use it for a specific service like nfs -A INPUT -i eth0 -m udp -p udp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT -A INPUT -i eth0 -m tcp -p tcp --dport 2049 -j ACCEPT That because nfs actually uses tcp and udp, playaround with it. in the /etc/services file you find the ports to services mappings good luck! -- Chadley Wilson Redhat Certified Technician Cert Number: 603004708291270 Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
