What card is it? (make/model).

Have you loaded the necessary driver into the kernel using modprobe?

[stathisx]

and what distro do you use?

[Goran]

Try dmesg | grep eth0. If that doesn't give you anything then you have to load a module like : modprobe eepro100. If it then detects the card type: ifconfig etho 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 up. Then try ping 192.168.2.1. Do you still have a problem ?

and what distro do you use?

I am using Redhat linux

dmesg | grep eth0

Divert:not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device eth0
devert: no devert_blk to free,eth0 not ethernet

redhat linux 9.0... ethernet interface not working... works nice with win2kpro...

How about suplying some information.. we are not mind readers, show us some respect and suply the needed information if you expect an answer.

Try this maybe:

ifup eth0

If this also gives you an error, than i think you've got a problem. Your network device is probably not installed, or not correctly?

Do you use an onboard device, or another?

What does this error say to you

Divert:not allocating divert_blk for non-ethernet device eth0

Notice the non-ethernet device eth0 what network card are you using by the error it sound like its not an ethernet card.

EDIT :- Are you using DHCP??
