<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have upgraded several machine to Fedora 2 without
problem but one machine has been left with no networking.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This particular machine I upgraded from RH7.3
and everything appeared to go fine but I could net get any e-mail and I
discovered that my eth0 device has been removed and replaced with a sit0 device
which is a bit strange since when the machine is booting it says "Configuring
eth0 [ OK ]. Here are the results of 'ifconfig sit0'</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>sit0 Link

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So it would apear that the upgrade configured my
ethernet card to IPv6 but was unable to set the address. My old Ipv4 address was
192.168.1.10 (I am behind a Linksys router)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So my question is: how do I configure the system to
work as it did before? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can my internet clients (Balsa, Epiphany, etc)
use IPv6 or do I somehow return to Ipv4?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Steve the confused.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>PS. ping6 ::127.0.0.1
works.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
