[SOLVED] Network interface is down after restart

[maayanay]

Hi,

after restarting my Fedora 10 the eth0 interface is not up

after i manually restart the network service everything is OK but after restarting it is the same problem.

this is the interface config file:
/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0 /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0

# Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper)
DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=00:0c:29:8b:82:6b
ONBOOT=yes
SEARCH="mydomainname"
BOOTPROTO=none
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
IPADDR=MYServerIPAdress
USERCTL=no
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
GATEWAY="My-GW-IP"
TYPE=Ethernet

i know i can put the restart service command in the rc.local file but it not suppose to work this way.

did you make sure network service is on with /sbin/chkconfig?

I'm new to Linux and i never heard of this command but i check and this is the result:
network 0:off 1:off 2:off 3:off 4:off 5:off 6:off

I'm guessing this is the service configuration on every runlevel option, am i right?
it looks it all off.

how can it be control/change?

10x!

yeah, i'm surprised it is off like that, but..

/sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 network on

this should do the trick, you need to run as root user
