Stephen, This suggests that dhcpcd (Dynamic Host Control Protocol Client Daemon) is not running. If you configure RedHat 7.2 using the netconfig tool, it should take care of the details. Become root and do the command "netconfig." Select "Use dynamic ip configuration" by positioning the cursor

Stephen, So you took that questionable entry out of /etc/resolv.conf and the entry just came back when you rebooted? This was with your Linux PC connected to your broadband modem? (Who is your provider, btw)? What brand NIC do you have? Do you see an entry for eth0 when you cat /etc/interru

To see if dhcpcd (or any other service) is running, do: ps -A | grep dhcpcd or, alternatively, ps -C dhcpcd To see if dhcpcd will start-up on bootup, look at these files: [root@rigel root]# grep -r dhcp /etc/* /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd-eth0.info:HOSTNAME=dhcp-73-316 /etc/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-eth0.info:HOSTNAME

If you mean that it takes forever and a day to realize that it's not on the network, than pass a timeout value by adding the line: DHCPCDARGS="-t 10" to the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0. That makes the DHCP client give up after 10 seconds. HTH, Justin On Thu, 2002-01-03 at

Hi All People, RH 7.2 Each time on booting when it comes to detecting "Bringup interface eth0" it takes quite long time to detect it, disregarding whether broadband cable connected or disconnected. Is there any way to accelerate its detection. Thanks in advance. B.R. Stephen Liu ___
