After setting the static address did ifconfig show the new address? What address did you use? What is the routers IP address? Only the last 3 digits of the address should be different. Does ifconfig show the connection status as 'UP' ? If not does 'ifup eth1' make a difference? Do the little lights on the ethernet socket light up? (There is usually a light on each side of the socket, one indicates the cable is plugged in OK, and the other indicates the speed of the link. There will be corresponding lights on your router, either on the socket or its front panel.) Next edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ( or ifcfg-eth0) and ensure it contains the lines MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes ONBOOT=yes (That file can only be edited by root user. To become root user hit Alt+F2 and enter 'kdesu konqueror' in the box. That will open up a copy of konqueror file manager as root user.) Finally take a look at the file /etc/sysconfig/network what is in it? It should contain the lines NETWORKING=yes GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (your routers IP address) GATEWAYDEV=eth1 (assuming eth1 is connected to the router) then 'service network restart' to apply the changes. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
