I booted into arrakis and changed the ifcfg-eth1 file. then I connected arrakis eth1 to caladan eth0 with the crossover cable. then I did the restart. I've typed this from the arrakis monitor: [root@localhost init.d]# ./network restart Shutting down interface eth1: [ ok ] Shutting down loopback interface: [ ok ] Disabling IPv4 packet forwarding: [ ok ] Setting network parameters: [ ok ] Bringing up interface eth0: Determining IP information for eth0... faile; no link present. Check cable? [ failed ] Bringing up interface eth1: Determining IP information for eth1... failed. [ failed ] [root@localhost init.d]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 #D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet DEVICE=eth1 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=dhcp #BOOTPROTO=none|bootp|dhcp #which do I want? HWADDR=00:0D:88:37:FA:22 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BROADCAST=192.168.10.255 while it didn't work, this is helpful in that it appears to show that the problem is with arrakis. at least I know where to focus. why did the script fail to determine the IP information, please? thanks, Thufir
