hey all,
Im very new to linux (and this forum), but i've updated my redhat 8.1 installation with Fedora, but a problem came up after installation was finished:
when working on red hat 8.1 internet worked fine, but after the update eth0 cant be activates and internet doesnt work anymore :s
can anyone help me with this ?
thanx!
Can you check a couple of things? It would help if you gave the output of the following commands (run them as root):
Code:ifconfig -a
ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
cat /etc/modules.conf
lspci
I executed the commands you gave me and this is the output...
Code:[root@localhost root]# ifconfig -a

I see. Your network card is working properly, it's just the actual internet connection that doesn't work. What kind of connection do you have (DHCP, PPPoE...?)?
My IP is assigned dynamically through DHCP if thats what you mean...
then it could be as simple as running (as root):
Code:dhcpcd eth0
I'll boot to Fedora and try...
Ive tried it but it still doesnt work,
the bash shell couldnt find that command
The dhcpd command lies in:
/usr/sbin/dhcpd
Unless you logon as root or 'su -' you'll have to specuify that whole path manually (since the sbin folers aren't included in non-super users path)
I'd recomend that you run this command:
(you'll be promted for root password)Code:sudo /usr/sbin/dhcpd eth0
Hey,
I was allready logged in as root:
*edit:Code:[root@localhost sbin]dhcpd eth0
bash: dhcpd: command not found
Do I miss some package or something.. I really need this done so i can really get going with my linux (school).
