originally installed RH7.3 on one of these HDs and everything works fine. Well, I had the need to install RH7.3 on the second HD.
Upon completing the install, I checked my networking and received the following results.
- I can ping anyone by IP number. This includes computers on my home network as well as on the Web. The response time is normal and correct.
- I can ping computers on my home network by name and the lookup is from the 'hosts' file.
- I cannot ping computers on the Web from this machine. The ping times out and I receive a message stating the web address was not reachable.
- Also, when I try to ssh into other machines on my home network by hostname there is a large delay time. When I conduct an ssh by IP number the delay disappears.
Since I had an identical working install of RH7.3 working.
I begin
swapping the network configuration files from the working
version to the nonworking version. These files include
/etc/hosts,
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/resolv.conf.
To
no avail, I still have the same problem. Does anyone have a clue?
Since the original install of RH7.3 I increased the amount of memory in the Inspiron from two 128MB bars to two 256MB bars.
This one has me stumped. Any help will be appreciated.
