Dave,
Thanks in advance for the help.....what's already been provided is greatly
appreciated.
1. Ran netconf. verified & corrected outlined info.
2. Quit netconf; had to manually restart network.
A. error reported:
done-with error
Bringing up interface eth0
determing IP info for eth0 via dhpcd...failed.
****/sbin/dhpcd already running
****/sbin/dhpcd:if not then delete /var/run/dhpcd-eth0.pidfile
3. #locate dhcpcd-command not found
#find dhcpcd-no such file or directory
4. #ifconfig

Hope this covers any dx need....

Dan,
As root, run netconf and make sure you are using dhcp for your ethernet
card. Click the "Host name and IP network devices" button. In the next
dialog, click the "Adapter 1" tab. The Enabled box should be checked
(indented), and Dhcp should be selected. The Net device should show eth0,
and the Kernel module should show your NIC driver (eepro100, for the Intel
Pro/100 NIC I received from Qwest). Accept any changes.
Next, click the "Name server specification (DNS)" button. You should have
Qwest's domain name server IP addresses in the text boxes for "IP of name
server 1" and "IP of name server 2". If not, enter them. If you don't
know, use 204.147.80.1 for the first, and 204.147.80.5 for the second. You
do NOT need to check the "DNS is required..." box. Accept any changes.
Quit netconf. If you made any changes, then netconf should prompt you to
restart networking. If it doesn't, you will need to do it manually (in a
terminal, as root):
/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart
If the command fails, then read the error message. It may be that dhcpcd
(the dhcp client daemon) is not installed, and therefore you are unable to
use dhcp to get your network config. If this is the case, run rpmdrake and
install dhcpcd. Then start networking again, as with the restart command
above.
If you're not sure, try locate dhcpcd. My output looks like this:
[root@numidea dave]# locate dhcpcd
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.cache
/etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info
/var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid
/usr/share/doc/dhcpcd-1.3.19pl1
/usr/share/doc/dhcpcd-1.3.19pl1/README
/usr/share/man/man8/dhcpcd.8.bz2
/sbin/dhcpcd
[root@numidea dave]#
Note the last item, /sbin/dhcpcd. This is the actual program you need.
If you have dhcpcd installed and running, then in a terminal, run
ifconfig. You output should look something like this:
[root@numidea dave]# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:47:1B:EC:68
inet addr:10.0.0.2 Bcast:10.0.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

[root@numidea dave]#
Note the IP address of device "eth0". If you only have "lo" but no "eth0",
then your network card isn't initialized -- probably because the dhcp
client is either not installed, or not running, or else the driver module
failed to load. If you know which module your NIC needs, try "modprobe
<modulename>". If you get an error message, troubleshoot -- wrong module?
hardware conflict? module already loaded (this one is ok, that means the
driver is already running)? Try restarting networking again (see command
above).
Next, run route -n. Here's my output (sorry about the column formatting):
[root@numidea dave]# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 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 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
[root@numidea dave]#
See the third line, starting wiith 0.0.0.0 -- this is your default route.
Notice that it is linked to eth0 (last column). Notice the Gateway column.
The Gateway entry is the internal IP of your Cisco 678 router. It might
not be 10.0.0.1, I don't know if Qwest configures them all the same or
not. But if you have a default gateway entry, then it is timie to try and
get online. Just launch Netscape.
Hopefully a page will load. If not, then try pinging 64.37.137.83
(www.sony.com). If you can ping the IP address, then at least you are
hitting the web. It's a domain resolution problem. If you can't even ping
the IP, try another known IP address, like those DNS entries I gave you
above. If you are still stuck, then you aren't even getting outside your
router, and possibly not even outside your PC. Try pinging your router
(the Gateway IP address). If you can't get it, then you are stuck inside
your PC. Time to read the Networking HOWTO and see if it can help you :-)
Good luck,
Dave
