Tony, here is the result of ifconfig -before- starting the DSL:
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
Now, I started the DSL in Gnome by selecting the eth0 interface connection,
which froze the connection box, but it started DSL anyway. Here's the
result of ifconfig at this point:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:CC:E2:FA:F4
inet addr:64.209.10.14 Bcast:64.209.10.15 Mask:255.255.255.252
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:49 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:42 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100

Again, here is the routing tables before bringing up the DSL connection:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
Now here it is -after- the DSL is up:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
64.209.10.12 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.252 U 0 0
0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0
0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 64.209.10.13 0.0.0.0 UG 0
0 0 eth0
> Send me your /etc/conf.modules file...
Here is the content of the /etc/conf.modules file.
alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc
alias eth0 tulip
alias sound emu10k1
Ethernet 0 is obviously not being initialized at boot time, because it hangs
up during the initialization attempt, and won't continue the boot process.
This would be my preferred way of doing this.
The other way is to go into Gnome, and start the Interface Connection
dialog, and choose eth0. When I do this, it performs similarly to the boot
process, ie, it hangs up the Interface Connection Dialog, but when I
Right-Click to forciby close the Dialog, my DSL is up and running fine. The
question of why it doesn't start up smoothly is why I'm here
Also, I took note of your "magic files". I don't know exactly what to do
with these, but I felt I should include the content of both for you to look
at. They are both very interesting. This must be what Network Configuration
Utility deals with...
Anyhow, here's the result of /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4=no
HOSTNAME=RAC
GATEWAY=209.130.221.121
GATEWAYDEV=eth0
NISDOMAIN=""
IPX="no"
IPXINTERNALNETNUM="0"
IPXINTERNALNODENUM="0"
IPXAUTOPRIMARY="on"
IPXAUTOFRAME="on"
And here's the content of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
USERCTL=yes
ONBOOT="no"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"
BROADCAST=
NETWORK=
NETMASK=""
IPADDR=""
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""

IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"

Thankyou again for your help
