1. Check if the services are running: $ chkconfig --list
2. As others have mentioned, check the logs at /var/log and syslog and Networking 3. Check the last users that logged in using the last command. 4. If the services are running, check iptables, maybe it's blocking it. look at the logs $ /etc/init.d/iptables status And in parallel in what you are doing, call Redhat support and do the above while waiting for them. I would assume that you have a valid service contract since you are running RHEL4. The RH guys would probably ask you to run the above commands anyways, and at least you have the information ready. Noticed too that the above are just read/view only things. Don't start or stop anything until you find out what's the real cause. Of course, if it's a prod system it's your call or your manager if you want to stop/start the services or restart the system which i doubt will help if the system was properly configured. To Danny, good list, but the number 1 is actually the last thing that you have to do. It's like forensics, once you reboot, some of the information like chkconfig, ifconfig, netstat, etc. are gone. -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On 12/28/06, Danny Ching <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
1) I assume you've tried restarting the machine? if so, 2) then you can try checking your connection to the net. if you can browse 3) try restarting services with 'service service-name start' 4) finally, if you have a subscription, try contacting redhat. hehehe (dapat ba #1 ito guys?!)
