no ethernet connection
Hi all,
I am having trouble getting my laptop on an ethernet connection. I am using fedora core 3 (kernel 2.6.12-1.1376_FC3). First, I notice that when booting my machine I see the following:
Bringing up loopback interface [OK]
Bringing up interface eth0: [FAILED]
And, when I use the Network Configuration tool (Gnome) to activate the eth0 device, I get something like:
Determining IP information for eth0.../sbin/ifup: line 424: 4622 Terminated /sbin/dhclient ${DHCLIENTARGS} ${DEVICE} failed.
I installed a new driver (Broadcom Corp BCM4401 100Base-T), to no avail. Other diagnostic information include:
[root@localhost ~]# ifconfig

There are three different resolv.conf files (I am using the default):
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf
/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/daysinn/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf
and each file contains only the following text:
; generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!
I added a line in the file:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
to include the ethernet address
"HWADDR=00:05:02:27:79:8C"
Now, I'm not sure what else to try. Any suggestions?
Thanks heaps,
Kelly
