Question nOOb in need of some network help.


Can't seem to get my Linux machine on the network through my LAN. (Shared Cable Connection) My Win2K Server is giving DHCP addresses, because the other 3 WinXP machines are online, but my Linux machine won't accept the DCHP IP address. HELP

-Do you get the "Bringing up Interface eth0- Failed" message at boot? Check your logs.
-Is your DHCP client daemon running on the Linux box? See if "ps -ax|grep dhcp" returnd anything.

-In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0,do the DEVICE, BOOTPROTO, and ONBOOT entries match the following:
Code:
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
IPADDR="192.168.0.2"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK=192.168.0.0
BROADCAST=192.168.0.255
ONBOOT="yes"
If not, edit the lines to match the example.

Thumbs up thanks for the advice.

It turned out to by my hub. It had a faulty block of ports. Moving to a new port did the trick. I appreciate the reply though.
