eth0 not working

[Washington, CJ (OCTO)]

Thanks,

I don't understand why but when I used the command below, I was logged in as
one of the users of the machine and the command failed.  Then I logged in as
root and reissued the command.  It worked fine.  I guess you have to be
logged in as root in order for the eth0 to work.  But I have not tried the
same thing using one of the user accounts created on the system.  

Can someone please explain this?

Thanks,

C

Try

and what is the output on the screen.
