Hello Mikkel and others reading this mail...
I took your advice and made the change to my eth0 netmask and also to my 'lo'
port. That needed changiing too otherwise things wouldn't work.
Here are my two files now. First is the ifcfg-eth0 file:
DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=44.135.34.209
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 <-------------
GATEWAY=44.135.34.201
g&)
And secondly, here is the ifcfg-lo file:
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.255.255.0 <--------------
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
BOOTPROTO=none
So that simple 'fix' did that trick. And now I know where else I am going to
use that.
Thanks Mikkel for the excellent suggestion and also thanks to all others who
took time to comment..
