Task 1 : Activate the network card
does it detect the ethernet card?
kg
Yeah it does show the Card details .. it's a DLink Lan Card. So it shows "Realtek ...." If "redhat-config-network-gui" is the same dialog brought up from the Desktop Start Menu->System..->Network.
I tried that before posting here.. it shows the network card inactive. I tried putting in a static IP instead of the default DHCP, didn't work.
I get a message box "Unable to activate..."

ive never succeeded in configuring a network card in red hat using the gui - i have done it several times (including configuring an isa card) but have forgotten how! i am now trying to configure a second network card in an rh7.1 system - no luck so far. so keep me posted with your work, i'll do the same from this end

Try as root Firse try running neat command as root same as redhat-config neatwork. Make the changes u want save it and try activating the card. If this does not work use the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth(X) where X is the card no Contents of tjhe file is as below ------------------ DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR=192.168.0.1 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=192.168.0.0 BROADCAST=192.168.0.1 ONBOOT=yes -------------------
Then try service network restart or /eth/rc.d/init.d/network restart
If this does not work try changing the network card and see. may be it's not working or the driver is not recognised..

checked the ethernet howto. the driver is ne2k-pci. added the following in my /etc/modules.conf file: alias eth1 ne2k-pci and ran modprobe eth1 machine hung (i think the problem may be that eth0 is an isa card)

removed the isa card. tried again, modprobe reported the card and the machine hung again - either a bad pci card or the motherboard doesnt support it
