Re: Ethernet & DHCP Fails on Cable Modem to Internet

I had the same situation. I resolved it by running lokkit again. Linux worked normally after that. The following change may also resolve the problem:

in "/etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth#", change PEERDNS=no to yes.
It worked for me.

Otto,
Sorry, my mistake. Yes eth0 does activate in this case
but it fails to successfully reach the internet. I can
not ping any IP addresses out on the internet.

I don't understand what you mean when you say the

unique isn't it.  You
don't have the other machine up and running at the

what you mean by eth0 fail to activate.  Also check
your /etc/host file.

Otto,

Earlier in my trouble shooting I tried the process

you

suggested of copying the addresses for IP,

broadcast

and netmask from a different machine that I used

to

access the internet using the same cable modem at

the

same location but eth0 fails to active.

The cable modem successfully access the internet

on

other machines at the same location running redhat

6.2

and windows.

Maybe you've already tried this, but my

cable

modem

has a "feature" which requires it to be reset every time a

new
device is plugged
into it.

Jason,

The nic is an SMC EZ 10/100 the driver

loaded

for

it

is the RealTek RTL-8139.

I tested the nic with a fixed IP and was

able

to

access other machines on the LAN.

Ken

If you have a windows computer that has worked before then get the ip address and the dns address that worked before

then
hard code that in
the linux box to see if that works if that works
then you don't have
dhcp setup correctly.  If that doesn't work then
make sure your cable
modem is provisioned(sp) by the ISP if you have
never had it hooked up
before.  You know MAC address etc....
