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.

Hate to say it, but, did you reset the cable modem? add DHCP_HOSTNAME="CXXXXXX-X" to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 CXXXXXX-X is your rogers node name. change BOOTPROTO="dhcp" /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart tail /var/log/messages for error messages Our dhcp server was out for 6 days, I switched mine to static until the server started running.

Backup the file before you change it. Do a, man command_here or cat command_here, before using it.

Are you sure your @home DHCP server is working? I see that go down quite often on mine. John Blaze wrote: > I am running RedHat 7 and my networking has been working fine since I > installed it.
