That seems strange, but once thing u really have to confirm is that there is no other host using the same IP. After that try restarting the card.

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?

put ur values in here, then

ifconfig eth? down
ifconfig eth? up
/etc/init.d/network restart.

lets know if work k

Hi Frek

I do the same as you told me but it not work.
if i give the IP of some other class then CARD accept and it work properley.
