Using a working @home here. in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ There is a file called ifcfg-eth0 it should look something like mine which is. DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="dhcp" IPADDR="" NETMASK="" ONBOOT="yes" IPXNETNUM_802_2="" IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no" IPXACTIVE_802_2="no" IPXNETNUM_802_3="" IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no" IPXACTIVE_802_3="no" IPXNETNUM_ETHERII="" IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no" IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no" IPXNETNUM_SNAP="" IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no" IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no" (the IPX stuff is samba related) Then either reboot (the widows way) or /etc/init.d/network restart and it should be able to conncet. Note you need to have dhcp-client and dhcp-common installed on your box. Do rpm -q dhcp-client and rpm -q dhcp-common to make sure they are installed. James > > >
