Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3, AMD quad core, 16G of dram and a couple of

Used the Ethernet install tool on GNOME and it all looked good -

"insufficient memory" error
The second time I ran "ping"it gave the same result but no memory error.
Added a known good 10/100 Ethernet board and used next address and the

same result. Used eth1 for new board and eth0 for the MB Ethernet.
3 rd attempt was an install - upgrade with command line

Set this up as it asked with offset address of 192.168.0.112,mask,gateway

metric =3D 1 reboot and same result.
This appears to be some kind of Firewall problem. In SL5.8 you had

add the required firewall protections. But this network is inside the

Would like to turn Firewall stuff off to see if problem goes away but

find little info on it .
I am convinced that HW is good, tested cable drop and was able to connect

to another box and Ethernet worked.

Any ideas as to where to look or how to disable security stuff.

What does "ifconfig" show?
-Connie Sieh
Shutdown the Firewall using "iptables stop".
examined resolve.conf and network-scripts/if* did not see anything out of the
ordinary.
I am looking at running "ifconfig" and ping to router from another window
eth0 RX bytes: 1868768 TX bytes: 0
Conclusion is eth0 can receive but not transmit.
Made a live DVD and it complains: error 14 missing file when booted.
The live CD works and it cannot get out on the internet.
Looked at the build of Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3 and it mentions that the built in
Ethernet chip is a Realtech and a list of other hardware devices when you
look at Linux versions supported.
There are numerous ways to set up Ethernet and the one in "setup" appears to
link to a write only file.
This same thing applies when you boot up from command line and add
argument "asknetwork". Plan to look at this in more detail.
The "network" tool in Gnome does not see the changes made to the system
from "setup" - there is a disconnect somewhere.
Added another known good spare Ethernet card and set it up as eth1 and nuked
eth0 rebooted and the same results. Used Gnome "network" tool
and "ifconfig -a " shows eth1 and not eth0.
route -n - compares to working system.
Today we are going to install a new disk with Windos 7 - known working system
and see whet transpires.
Thank You

This sounds like a buggy driver or a broken PHY.
I'm not sure what to think of your add-in NIC; you haven't stated
make/model/driver. You also haven't provided the complete output to
ifconfig, complete contents of your configuration files, or any relevant
system messages.
We are pretty much flying blind at this point.
