Hi: I checked my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file. "ONBOOT=yes" has already been set. Why it does not work? Thanks.

I use DSL and wireless router. I set up the network by using "Network Device Control" of Red Hat. The problem is that everytime I reboot the machine, I need to re-activate the eth0 device. After that the network works fine. I have selected "activate the network device automatically when booting up". Why it does not work? Another question is that there is only one line in the file /etc/hosts, which is: 192.167.7.12 mypc Is it correct? Thanks a lot. Jack __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
