I think I've figured out the problem, but my unfamiliarity with 7.2 is
preventing me from solving it.
Here is the output of ifconfig:
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BA:C2:6C:5B
inet addr:216.94.103.193 Bcast:216.94.103.224
Mask:255.255.255.255
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:645 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:7 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
RX bytes:38978 (38.0 Kb) TX bytes:420 (420.0 b)
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xe000
Notice that the netmask is 255.255.255.255, and gateway is
216.94.103.210. My network address is supposed to be 216.94.103.192,
and the broadcast address is correct - 216.94.103.224.
I need a netmask of 255.255.255.223, and I've set all the scripts I know
about to contain that value, however it isn't reflected in the ifconfig
command.
Obviously what's happening is that the netmask is defining a network
with one static address - 216.94.103.193, and my gateway address
216.94.103.210 is outside of that address space, no?
I did notice that there's a new directory called /etc/sysconfig/network,
and it contains duplicates of the scripts in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob Yale
