Network problem in SL 6.6
 

Hi all,

I downloaded Scientific Linux 6.6, but it didn't connect to internet.

There is a wrong sign on the "internet icon" on the start up bar and
when I click on this icon i find the wired connection closed (I can't click on), also the cable connected to the laptop dose not flash.

When I enter > system > network connections, I find wired system eth0 connection, in which the MAC address set to 00:00:00:00:00:00, while "Apply" icon is not activated


Here is the output of $ifconfig

lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:65536 Metric:1 RX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:40 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2880 (2.8 KiB) TX bytes:2880 (2.8 KiB)

TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

Here is the output of $ifconfig eth0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:00:00:00:00

The eth0 cofiguration file on /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

TYPE=Ethernet
UUID=48b4edd8-26a9-427e-abad-b4acac8e42ee
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
HWADDR=52:54:00:EE:44:CD
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes

And when I type ifup eth0
[root@localhost network-scripts]# ifup eth0
Error: No suitable device found: no device found for connection 'System eth0'

Note that when I change the MAC address on
system> network connections > system eth0 to : 52:54:00:EE:44:CD, the Apply icon activated but the problem didn't solved ..



So any help ..
thanx
S.

Why do you have a Virtual Bridge configured? Looking at your output both the virbr0 and eth0 have the same mac address.

I don't know why.. I just installed Linux normally, also i wonder why the HWaddr number in ifcfg-eth0 file is different than when i type ifconfig eth0?

Any ideas, because actually I'm not expert in SC Linux..

Best,
S.

post the output of the following command:

This will show all known interfaces

Here is it:

$ifconfig -a

Best,

What config files do you have in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/? Can you post this output also?
