Hi All,

I was trying to install 11g on Oracle Linux 6.2, as per the document (the document just says execute the below command to check whether network is ok without a result to compare) I executed the following command and got the below result. Please advise whether is there any issue below lines, if any kindly advise how can i fix them. Thanks in advance,

# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=00:11:43:72:54:8B
TYPE=Ethernet
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
DEFROUTE=yes
PEERDNS=yes
PEERROUTES=yes
IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=yes
IPV6INIT=no
NAME="System eth0"
UUID=5fb06bd0-0bb0-7ffb-45f1-d6edd65f3e03

That's just the setup for your eth0 NIC. Whether its correct or not is specific to your system.
Have you only got that eth card?
Can you reach any systems on your LAN?
Can you reach google?

Try
as root or
as non-root and post the result(s)

Hi,

I am new to Linux and I am learning it. I just installed Oracle Linux 6.2 and wanted to install oracle 11g for learning purpose. Hence its my personal laptop (dual boot with win7). Yes that eth card that comes with inspiron 6000 laptop. I can reach google or any website from linux PC. Thanks

Is "Linux PC" the same computer as "inspiron 6000 laptop"?

Yes Oracle Linux OS is installed on inspiron 6000 laptop along with win7.

If you "can reach google or any website from linux PC" then the network connection is OK.

Thanks for the reply
