Missing network setting

hjarvine · 09-15-2002, 06:53 PM

Hi,
I recently installed redhat 7.3 w/kde and am unfortunately experiencing problems with networking, ie. internet does not work, I can't seem to find any network or internet connection settings in the system-folder where they are supposed to be nor do I know if the network card is installed (a realtek rtl-8029 NIC).

All this is confusing because the last time I installed redhat(version was 7.1) everything worked fine right from the start.

Help would be much appreciated.

What is the IP address on your NIC?

From a terminal window, type ifconfig -a and post the output.

Your routing might be incorrect as well. Again from a terminal window, type netstat -rn and post the output of that.

Feed from ifconfig is:
---
link encap: Local Loopback
inet address: 127.0.0.1 mask 255.0.0.0
UP Loopback running MTU:16436 metric:1
RX packets: 8 (rest of the values: 0)
TX packets: 8 (rest of the values: 0)
RX & TX bytes: 560

Netstat values:
---
dest:127.0.0.1
gate: 0.0.0.0
genmask: 255.0.0.1
Flags 0
MSS window: 40 0
irtt: 0
Iface: lo

What do these values mean?
