> I'm attempting to test out LTSP5.  Installed Fedora 9 i386.  Used

> eth0 - Static - 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1
> eth1 <http://192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1eth1> - Static -
> 192.168.1.25/255.255.255.0/192.168.1.1

> Note that during this entire install process networking is fine,
> internet updates are being successfully made.

> Rebooted.

> When the machine boots up, there is no networking.  Log into the GUI
> console, notice that Network Manager icon in the upper right is
> inactive.  From what I've read that's a good thing (?).

> I navigate to System -> Administration -> Network, and notice that all
> three network devices are 'Inactive'.
>
> eth0 - Inactive
> eth1 - Inactive
> ltspbr0 - Inactive
>
> If I click on eth0, then choose Activate, nothing happens.  If I
> choose eth1 and Activate, it works.  If I choose ltspbr0, it
> activates.

> After doing the above, networking now works in the sense that the

> Workstations T1420 PXE) into what I'm thinking is the 192.168.0.x
> network switch configured for the TC's, and it's not getting DHCP.

> 1. The interfaces aren't starting at system startup.
> 2. Can't activate eth0 at all.
> 3. TC not getting DHCP to boot up.
