I have little bits of time over a few months now and cannot figure out how basic network services work on rh7.2.
The problem I am having is the following: I upgraded the harddrive in my laptop. At the same time I installed 7.2 from 6.2. I normally use DHCP to get an IP address for the computer. The first problem is if I forget to connect the ethernet cable, before turning on the computer, I cannot figure out how to make the computer request an IP address. There is nothing wrong with the computer, because when I connect the cable and restart everthing works. Everything I have tried, which is a long list does not seem to work. If I run "ifconfig" after forgetting to connect to ethernet cable the only interface is "lo" If I try using the control-panel to activate the ethernet interface it hangs (It may be taking a long time and has not timed out, I have not left it to find out) The second problem is I use my computer for troubleshooting and will change the IP address to a static IP address. I have not been able to make this work either. Would somebody please explain to me how to do these. thanks david _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
