Dave, Just because your drivers load and the OS starts the networking service does not mean your network is configured properly. What does the "ifconfig" command output for you? As Oliver noted, you might not be receiving an IP address from your DCHP server or your firewall is blocking you.

When I examine DMESG, FC4 seems to find each card, identify the driver, the MAC address of each card, and the IRQ to be used Also the startup screen shows eth0 and eth1 starting with the green "OK" But the route commands attempting to use dev eth0 or dev eth1 return "no such device" as an error message and when I try to ping localhost or a static IP I get the message "network is unreachable" The cables are plugged into the same hubs that other servers successfully use. Does anyone have an idea where I can look for solution? And if I may be permitted a small rant, I think FC in general is a poor, poor second to the regular releases we used to get from Red Hat. This is the second time I've installed FC4 on this machine. The first time, the screen would blink off for no reason, and BIND wouldn't see the local network. Now, after the 2^nd installation, the screen behaves itself, but I have problems with the network cards. This stuff is supposed to run - like do useful things? - not be a project which goes on and on trying to get it to work. For me, the Fedora Project has "we don't care" written all over it. End of Rant. Thanks Dave Harman -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
