The only reason it wouldn't run that command (I think) is because you don't have any configuration for eth0. So, it doesn't bring up the device. Do you have the directory /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifconfig.eth0 ? You should have the dhcp configuration file there as shown here: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/stable/connect/dhcp.html#dhcp-client Here's another test you can do. Add tracing to the ifup shell script to try to figure out why it's not running "ip link set eth0 up". # bash -x /etc/sysconfig/network-devices/ifup eth0 There'll be a lot of output, but you can read the script and the output to see if something strange is happening. > (Before "ip link set eth0 up"): > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX > BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:3540 (3.4 Kb) > Interrupt:18 Base address:0x3000 > > (After "ip link set eth0 up"): > eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX > UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 > RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 > TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 > collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 > RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:3540 (3.4 Kb) > Interrupt:18 Base address:0x3000 > > Looking at it now, though, I see that the latter says UP Broadcast Running > Multicast - might that be related to anything? Thanks again for any advice > you can offer. Yes, the UP is the critical part there. The device is never coming up for you, so anything that happens after that is useless. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
