Hi, Please help if you understand networking. I believe something is misconfigured in my system when I use /usr/bin/sytem-config-network. The network is fine using DHCP and "automatically obtain DNS info from provider" However, it stops when I set it statically. This is what it shows under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no NETMASK=************* IPADDR=************* GATEWAY=************* Using /sbin/ifconfig I get my inet addr, bcast and mask. Now, if I enter "statically set ip addresses" (in the system-config- network gui) and enter the inet addr, bcast and mask; and stop/restart the network via gui /usr/sbin/system-config-services then /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is changed to DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=none ONBOOT=yes TYPE=Ethernet USERCTL=no PEERDNS=yes IPV6INIT=no NETMASK=************* IPADDR=************* GATEWAY=********** Note: another difference is that: Note work set statically [me@home network-scripts]# /sbin/ip route aa.aaa.aaa.0/24 dev vnic0 proto kernel scope link src aa.aaa.aaa.2 bbb.b.ccc.0/2 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src bbb.b.eee.29 working under dhcp [me@home network-scripts]# /sbin/ip route aa.aaa.aaa.0/24 dev vnic0 proto kernel scope link src aa.aaa.aaa.2 bbb.b.ccc.0/21 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src bbb.b.eee.29 ddd.ddd.d.d.d dev eth0 scope link default via bbb.b.ccc.1 dev eth0 Help! Oh last info is that I am using 210.230.70.2 210.230.70.2 rosenet.ne.jp when I set dns statically I think that is right $ nslookup rosenet.ne.jp Server: 210.230.70.2 Shawn P.S. this is in an attempt to resolve past threads on realtek drivers (not the issue) or lan cards (not the issue)
