I just did a fresh installation of FC3 on a system that used to run RH9. Installation went fine, system came up ... except the network won't work. Now, I checked all the files _I think_ needs to be checked, and they all appear to be okay: /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo
All the values and options are the same as what they were on the old setup (I made a backup of those files, so I'm comparing them now.) Yet, the network simply won't work. Checking 'ifconfig' everything appears to be fine. Running 'route' on the other hand hangs for a bit before finally giving me the last line:
# route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
206.168.220.48 * 255.255.255.248 U 0 0 0 eth0
[ ... here it hangs for a while before the last line ... ]
default 206.168.220.49 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
Now, on any of my other systems (still running either RH7.3/9 or FC1, when I run 'route', it also displays a line for the loopback. It's not showing up on this machine (though the loopback does show up in ifconfig.) So, someone please shine some light here...what have I forgotten? Why in the world would it not work if everything is setup the same?
