reboot works but service network restart does not


If I reboot eth0 works fine but service network restart does not work.

service network restart returns OK, brings up the nic with the IP address, etc.

But the nic is not working, is not pingable, cannot ping out.

[root@elvis network-scripts]# ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0F:20:6C:A5:0D

Check the output from

check iptables

Hi,

can you ping 10.141.1.160?

If you ping 10.141.1.1 tcp/ip arps for this ip, because from the Network Assignment you want to ping a host on your local network. If 10.141.1.1 is outside your local network then you have to cahnge your network to maybe "10.1.1.1/24".

How do you connect to the other host?

I can ping myself 10.141.1.160
The network settings are correct because a reboot fixes it.
Why should I need to reboot to make the NIC work?
What is a reboot doing that service network restart is not?
