now i can't get eth0 to work.
(i had firestarter installed before upgrade).
here's what i found: When i set ip manually, the eth0 card get active, but
nothing works, can't ping my gateway or anything else. it doesn't matter if
firestarter is started or stopped. with ifconfig i see the right addresses
configured.
when i try to use dhcp(i have a dhcp server)the card just get inactive.
it seems that there is something in my box blocking all contact to the lan.
Have you tried using dhclient when eth0 was up?
Can you elaborate on "using dhclient"? I'm having the same problem as
Ketil with trying to connect to a network.
Just execute dhclient, and if eth0 is up and a dhcp server is availible
eth0 get its network config assigned. Older RedHats < 8 used to have
pump which did allmost the same.
If dhclient doesn't work it's probably because a firewall is blocking
DHCP.
Thanks,
