    Missing....???

    Hi Forum,

    Recently I down loaded a BETA Version (FREE) of Red Hat Server 6.0.After an installation using a single DVD; I realised that the server did NOT configure for network after going through all the provided utilities I noticed that "System-config-Network" utility missing altogether and NO where can be found!

    So I decided to use sheer old fashion brute force to configure the network as follow:

    Default I am configuring for only ONE NIC which is on motherboard with existing (DHCP); over riding.

    1/ After modifying /etc/sysconfig/network file for eth0 NIC
    2/Configuring the /etc/sysctl.conf file for Masquarading
    3/Modifying /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts following file for

    DEVICE=eth0
    IPADDR=192.xxx.xxx.xxx
    ONBOOT=yes

    restarted the "service network restart"
    after using ifconfig or ip link show I can see the
    eth0 has an ip 192.xxx.xxx.xxx with Bcast 192.xxx.xxx.xxx mask 255.255.255.0 with hardware MAC dd:ddd:dd:dd:dd

    But I still could not get network working or INTERNET working either I noticed if I try to ping router from the RH Server 6 I get positive response with 0 packet loss 2002ms
    But when I try to ping from different computer (W/s) I get destination host prohibited as follow:

    From 192.xxx.xxx.xxx icmp_seq=3 Destination Host Prohibited
    100 lost

    I would be grateful if you put me right direction if I am making any mistake in my configuration please.

    thank you

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    Please post output of ifconfig and route commands here, as well as contents of /etc/resolv.conf
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
