Don't rename ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0anything. When the network starts, it will read *every* file named ifcfg-* and try to put it online. Try renaming to original-ifcfg-eth0. Running "service network reload" is enough to re-read all the files, no need to reboot.
If you still cannot connect, try some commands to see what is wrong: netstat -nr ifconfig -a lsqeth ping -c2 gateway-ip tracepath -n outside-ip Mauro http://mauro.limeiratem.com - registered Linux User: 294521 Scripture is both history, and a love letter from God. 2013/10/23 Chase, John <[email protected]> > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Linux on 390 Port On Behalf Of Mark Post > > > > >>> On 10/23/2013 at 11:58 AM, "Chase, John" <[email protected]> wrote: > > > After learning "the hard way" that vi doesn't play well with a 3270 > > > console session, we tried changing the IP address of a Linux machine > > > in ifcfg-eth0 with sed.
