Netgear gs605 gigabit switch no ip-address on boot
Hello.
I just got a gigabit switch and now on boot up FC6 does not get an ip-address assigned to it. The wiring goes: cable modem-->router--->switch-->linux box. I can go into System-->Network and then click on "Activate" and then the system is connected to the net. I never had this problem when I had the computer directly connected to my router. Is there some way to set this up so that the computer gets its ip-address automatically on boot? Here are the specs if they might help: SWITCH: Netgear GS605 5-port Gigabit switch NIC: Nvidia CK804 Gigabit card (built into Asus A8N-E motherboard) LINUX VERSION: FC6 (all yum-updates applied). CABLING: All network wires used are CAT 5e Also is there any linux command to test the network connection speed? Thanks. |
Post your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX file (where X is the number of the ethernet interface IE eth0)

Thanks for the reply.
Here is the file: Code:
# nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller I take it the 'ONBOOT=no' option should be set to yes. Any idea how this could have been changed? |
