<DIV>Hallo Rick, Marc, Stuart and the others</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am very confused.</DIV>
<DIV>I have tried to write: onfiltered=yes</DIV>
<DIV>in file "/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0"</DIV>
<DIV>After that, Red Hat didn't work. It hanged.</DIV>
<DIV>I have re-installed and now have still the problem.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On the computer there are windows xp, Mandrake and RedHat9.</DIV>
<DIV>I have installed RedHat9 as the last one and without Boot Loader.</DIV>
<DIV>I use Boot Loader from Mandrake.</DIV>
<DIV>As booting the RedHat9, I got message: IP Address 127.0.0.1 is used by
the other.</DIV>
<DIV>Could the network configuration problem come from the other Linux?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT><FONT><FONT><SPAN class=703160218-15052006>As Rick Stevens has
explained, you cannot us 127.0.01 for a network address. To expand on that a
bit, that address is what is generally known as the "loopback" address. It can
be used to test the functionality of a network interface card. On an individual
computer, if you PING 127.0.0.1 and it works, then it is a good shot that your
NIC is properly, physically installed and powered on, the proper driver/s for it
are properly installed and your TCP/IP stack is properly installed and working
correctly. Concerning a network address that you CAN use, for the *external*
network address of your LAN: The most common default network address for small
LANs (254 or less nodes) is 192.168.0.xxx with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0</SPAN></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
