Question about network setup

[Jack Wang]

Hi:

I checked my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
file. "ONBOOT=yes" has already been set. Why it does
not work?

Thanks.

Add "ONBOOT=yes" to your
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file.

    I don't know why RH 9 doesn't connet eth0 at
reboot, but you
    can put the bring up line(/sbin/ifconfig xxxxx
dont know exactly what statement you use after reboot)
in /etc/rc.local
    In my /etc/hosts there is an entry for all network
hosts and the loopback ip (127.0.0.1
localhost.localdomain localhost)
    but I dont have rh9

        Hi all,

My OS is Red Hat 9.0. I use DSL and wireless router.
I set up the network by using "Network Device Control"
of Red Hat. The problem is that everytime I reboot the
machine, I need to re-activate the eth0 device. After
that the network works fine. I have selected "activate
the network device automatically when booting up". Why
it does not work?
Another question is that there is only one line in the
file /etc/hosts, which is:
192.167.7.12   mypc


        Is it correct?

        Thanks a lot.

        Jack
