Cliff, Thanks for your help. This machine is scheduled to be a mail server for a business with a static ip address behind an ATT Uverse router. There were no entries in the /var/log/messages that I could identify as errors. There was no dhcp exposure during the intallation+ADs I planned to manually enter the ip, gateway, dns addresses, and subnet after the installation. The problem apparent was that the customary eth0 was not present for me to edit. I have now taken the server back to my lab, and still am not able to get to the network card. Any suggestions before I try CentOS 5.9 would sure be beneficial. Greg --------------------------------------------------------------------- Are there any messages in the logs? In particular 'dmesg' messages. (I don't have a CentOS system right here so I can't see which log is appropriate.) Is there a DHCP server on the network? A little more detail on your situation would be handy. Is this a home network with ADSL or similar? Cheers, Cliff On Sun, Oct 27, 2013 at 3:26 PM, Gregory P.
