Just go # service network stop (that shuts down networking) then do # service network start (which should make the service start). Now do # ifconfig eth0 and it will tell you if it is up or not. If eth0 is not up do # ifup eth0 and that should bring it up Good luck Marc <div>On 5/4/06, Nofriyadi Nurdam <<a href="mailto:nnurdam_rh@yahoo.com">nnurdam_rh@yahoo.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"><div style="direction: ltr;"> Hi All, I am a computer class teacher and have to teach how to set up RedHat9.
