I must have installed something that now prevented my network connection to work. I do not know where to begin to resolve this issue. I had a hard time initially to compile/build the module for my onboard network but I did have it running and it was really great. But somehow, I have lost it. Can someone give me advice how to go about troubleshooting it? What I do know is that the network daemon is running, it correctly loaded the nic module, ipconfig shows both eth0 and lo: ifconfig: ================================================================== eth0 Link encap: Thernet Hwaddr: 00:1B:FC:EC:4B:27 inet addr: 10.1.0.8 Bcast:10.1.0.255 Maask: 255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU: 1500 Metric: 1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Memory:dffc0000-e0000000 lo Link encap:local loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:11997 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:11997 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:4997217 (4.7 Mib) TX bytes:4997217 (4.7 Mib) ================================================================== I checked /etc/resolve.conf, system-config-network and everything is in order.
