Hello. I am getting started with Red Hat 7.1 for the first time, and I am
having trouble connecting to the web. The eth0 device fails to inititalize
at startup. The following settings appear for the eth0 device:
IP address -> entered correctly
netmask -> 255.255.255.0
network -> 169.237.204.0
broadcast -> 169.237.204.255
after startup, I activate the eth0 device and try to connect. I get an
unknown hosts error message. The error message suggests that I may have to
set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point tot he appropriate name
server.
Any suggestions? Thanks very much.

As root from a command shell, can you do the following and report the
results?
# ifconifg
# ifconfig eth0
(Are the above the same when looking for eth0?)
(If eth0 is reported in both, that is a good sign.)
(If eth0 is only reported when you explicitly include "ifconfig eth0" that
means something else.)
THE FOLLOWING IS OUTPUT FROM THE COMMAND SHELL:
[root@penguin /root]# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
[root@penguin /root]# ifconfig eth0
eth0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
ADDITIONAL INFO
[root@penguin /root]# cd /dev
[root@penguin /dev]# ./MAKEDEV eth0
don't know how to make device "eth0"
If eth0 is listed in both of the above results, can you show us what:
# route -N
reports?
If that has entries, could you tell us what this shows:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
Thanks,
-ME
