Hey guys and gals, I've got a problem. I've got a vmware install of Fedora 12 running as a server. This install has the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file configured with the proper info and the service has been restarted. When I run ifconfig I only get the loopback interface, when I run ifconfig -a I can get the eth0, but without the pre-configured ip address. When I enter ifconfig eth0 up I can activate the interface, but without the afore mentioned ip address. I need to be able to yum ssh, install it, and run it with rsa keys. Can do none of this without an interface obviously. Any thoughts?

can you show the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Attached are the contents of the ifcfg-eth0 file.

i dont understand your network settings.
They need correcting. Why is the ip and gateway address the same?
What is your gateway device? There is also a typo on your network address it seems?
Correct these first, then we will take another look.
