So after you run that ifconfig command, eth0 shows up when you run ifconfig with no arguments? That means that we can at least define the interface. If running "service network restart" does not bring eth0 up, then the problem is in your ifcfg-eth-bus-ccw-0.0.0468 file. Go back to that and change the NETMASK to 255.255.255.0, remove NETWORK (as per Mark's message), and change "STARTMODE=ONBOOT" to "STARTMODE=onboot". Then try "service network restart" again. It looks like you set this up using YaST, as there's a _nm_name parameter in there. If that's the case, you're probably better off going back into YaST and just changing the NETMASK value in there. BTW: the docs for the parameters allowed in that configuration file are in /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg.template. Interesting reading in there. You might also want to take a look at the end of /var/log/messages to see if any errors generated while you do the "service network restart" appear in there. - MacK. ----- Edmund R.
