You didn't specify whether this is a wired interface, but I'll assume so.
If this is a fresh install, you may need to "turn on" NetworkManager.
To do so,

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager

then run

Code:

/etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start

You'll need to do that as root. And just the one time.

If you do use NetworkManager (which is the GUI network program I assume you're referring to), don't forget to disable /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 starting on boot (that's the program that's been obtaining the DHCP lease for you as you state) since I hear that conflicts with NetworkManager.

Code:

chmod -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1

That advice is not correct. You can (and should) leave that file executable. Just make sure that you do not have interface definitions in /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf for the network interfaces that NetworManager should manage.

Ah, thank you for the correction Alien Bob.

Hi,

i have a same issue when trying to connect via NetworkManager. I did made the /etv/rc.d/rc.networkmanager script accessable and tried to start /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager start. When DHCPCD starts it tells me there where found a network interface.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Many thanks.

raleeha,

I'm not sure what you mean by "accessible". You should to make that script "executable".
Show us the output of the following command:

Code:

ls -lahs /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager

The output should look like this:

Code:

4.0K -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1.7K Aug 14  2012 /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager*

If you don't have the "x" in "-rwxr-xr-x", run this:

Code:

chmod +x /etc/rc.d/rc.networkmanager

...and you'll be good to go.

Otherwise, I recommend making your own thread...this one is marked as [SOLVED] ;-)
