I have a new Dell 740n system with the following
configuration. AMD Athalon X2-5000+ NVIDIA 4 chip set 150 GB SATA disk Onboard Broadcom 57XX NIC I have a default FC 5 X64 installation with the kernel
configuration of “noapic” and the computer boots ok, and is stable.
But I have no network. Computer is one of 4 on a switch, the other three are able
to receive DHCP address no problems Installed Intel pro/1000 MT NIC, configured for DHCP…No
Address received Changed to Static IP…no outbound traffic Changed back to DHCP… can not contact DHCP server Changed to direct connected (not from Stitch) network cable
…no outbound traffic Used a cross over cable connected to known working computer
…no outbound traffic Reinstalled the OS, thinking I had messed something up…still
no network Changed NIC’s thinking that maybe the NIC was bad…still
no network Searched Google for a fix…can not seem to find any
thing. Dose anyone have any ideas? Thanks Brent Brent Snow SYTACOM Systems Administrator 514-398-1355 |
