no internet on boot

Haiyadragon · 05-12-2005, 04:24 AM

For some reason the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 script doesn't run on boot anymore. I have to run it manually after I log in... Any ideas how this happened? And more importantly how to fix it?

open up /etc/rc.d/rc.M in an editor and see if it the entry to run it is still there:

# Initialize the networking hardware. If your network driver is a module
# and you haven't loaded it manually, this will be deferred until after
# the hotplug system loads the module below.
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 ]; then
. /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
fi

The other thing that comes to my mind is that the /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 has no executable setting.

Try this, from a console type [CODE]ls -alh{/CODE] inside the /etc/rc.d.

Check the following things:
1. The rc.inet1 shows in green (this means is executable, at some point).
2 That the user and the group are root.

I hope this helps.

if it's not +x he would not be able to run it manually

Ok, it works now. I didn't change a thing. Mainly because nothing seemed to be wrong. I think it might actually have something to do with the connection (even though it happened like four times in a row). Thanks for all your help.
