But if you manually boot up your NIC does it work?

I mean:

If you write:

ifconfig eth0 (or your interface name) up

does it work?

[chuikingman1]

No, ifconfig eth0 up is not work ..

the lan card is still down and have not get IP from DHCP ...

Please advice ....

[ripp3r]

You don't have an IP address 'cause your NIC is down.

Well to be sure, 'cause you're under RedHat the command should be:

ifcfg-eth0

post the output pls

And maybe you could be interested in a GUI:

redhat-config-network

let me know

[chuikingman1]

Hi,

I nred hat linux , the command is ifconfig eth2 .....

eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0C:29:AD:D3:A2

inet6 addr: fe80::20c:29ff:fead:d3a2/64 Scope:Link

No IP is gotten....

[ripp3r]

So it seems your nic is up...

According to this link http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.3-Manual/custom-guide/s1-dhcp-configuring-client.html

Try to edit this file:

/etc/sysconfig/network

And be sure there is this line:

NETWORKING=yes

After that edit this file:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2

And be sure you have these lines:

DEVICE=eth2

BOOTPROTO=dhcp

ONBOOT=yes

Then save & reboot

let me know

[chuikingman1]

Hi,

It is not work . the same result ..

The Lan card is not up and no IP when type ifconfig eth2 .....

I do not think genernal command can fix it ...

It may be driver problem in VMware .....

[ripp3r]

let's try the last thing, please run & post the output:

chkconfig --list

After that... I HAVE NO MORE IDEAS I just wanna be sure your network service is up and running
