IP Networking

It was easy in mandrake, but i don't know how in red hat. I have an Allied Telesyn AT2400/ET

If it's possible in mandrake then i know it's possible in red hat.

Is the cable modem plugged into a network card in your computer? If so, you can configure that network card using "linuxconf" or "ifconfig"

I use RedHat with cable modem. If you have dynamic ip maybe you just have to configure you net card with pump:

#pump -i <your net interface>

Hope it helps
Regards

sorry i miss a word. should be:

#pump -i (here goes your net interface)

Hi,

I am having similar problem. I have a Red Hat Linux 7 on PC and was trying very hard to setup internet connection.

I use a router with out-of-box DHCP configuration. The thing is my Red Hat Linux PC would not detect anything from my eth0.

I tried netconfig and selected DHCP option, then a message "sending request for IP information..." showed up. I waited for a while then the message disappeared and I still did not see any IP information.

I tried pump -s and pump -i eth0 but they all returned "Operation failed"

I also tried netcfg, netconf, and ifconfig, but nothing worked out.

It's just frustrating because I changed my Linux Hard Drive to a Windows Hard Drive and I have access to the Internet so I know my router setup is fine and it has to be my Linux setup.

I would appreciate if anyone could help me!

What caused my problem: my NIC does not support Linux.

How I found out: ifconfig -a and notice both my TX and RX are 0 and my TX receives lots of errors.

So I get another Netword Interface Card and tried again.

It feels sooooooooooo good surfing the Internet using my Red Hat Linux!!!
