Hi guys
I just did a new installation on my linux machine and now I have a network problem ,
When I am on the machine I can ping the machine’s IP address but not the gateway.
What am I doing wrong ?

Thanx Lebo

This is my /etc/sysconfig/network file
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=mds.is.org.za
GATEWAY=10.100.22.1

My /etc/hosts looks like this

127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
10.100.22.204 mds.is.org.za mds(my machine)
10.100.22.59 maxine.is.org.za(server that I want to access)

my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=none
BROADCAST=10.100.22.255
HWADDR=00:07:E9:32:90:A4
IPADDR=10.100.22.204
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.100.22.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
GATEWAY=10.100.22.1
IPV6INIT=no

I find ifconfig and lspci to be most helpfull. If your interface is not listed with ifconfig, try 'ifconfig eth0 up x.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0'. If it complains about no such device, you have a driver issue, or it is there under a different name.
