Hello that did the trick... I just made the file ifcfg-eth0 with the stuff from before and ran ifup eth0 and it worked. I have the NETWORKING and HOSTNAME portion in the network file but I do not have a GATEWAY line, is it crucial? If it is is the address just that of the router? And I want to change the hostname of the PC but I don't know ALL of the files that need to be changed... I know there is a hosts file and then it would seem that this network file would also need to be changed because of the HOSTNAME entry, am I correct or wrong? Thank you all for your help in diagnosing my problem!! --- Michael Weber <mweber@alliednational.com> wrote: > The lack of the ifcfg-eth0 file is the problem.
