No crystal ball, but guessing

You were configuring a vlan with a dhcp server.

$ sudo vconfig --help

Good luck

i advanced a little bit with my problem but yet still stuck far from shore.
Now i am trying to kickstart a Linux machine , The installation of the Machine goes fine and no errors could be reported while that , But after that i notice that my DHCP on the newly installed machine is not running and the ifconfig command shows no IPs attached to my interfaces , I have checked my ifcfg-eth0 , ifcfg-eth1 and there is something really weird , They are created wrongly they have a ? attached to there name ( ifcfg-eth0?) and the other one has ifcfg-eth0^M , did anybody encounter such a pb before .


Thanks
cheers

One issue or two?

First; I don't get it. Are these two different machines? If that is the case, you should start a new thread for the second machine.

Second; I did not understand your description. Can you please copy and paste the results of the three basic commands
$ uname -a
$ arp -a
$ ifconfig -a
Then specify if you have a vlan and/or dhcp server/client running, on which machine.
