I am running RedHat 7 and my networking has been working fine since I installed it. I had ftp server, telnet, httpd, etc. running without a problem. My ISP is rogers@home and they had been renewing my IP very frequently, so I would have to run pump to get a new IP. The other day I came to do some work on my system and I realized that I had no IP yet again. I ran pump, but it failed. I rebooted my PC and I received this error message "Determining IP information for eth0 ... operation failed" when the eth0 interface is brought up. I re-compiled my kernel and added in support for dhcp, but I still got the same message. I also checked /etc/resolv.conf file and it looked correct (no "search localhost" line and dns servers are listed). I am using a 3Com EtherLink III 3c509tp NIC. I am using kernel module 3c509. Any information anyone could give me to help would be greatly appreciated.
