OK...I'm using the latest version of Fedora 10.
My network connection was working fine, and I had several network LAN shares on my desktop. Then I rebooted the system without dismounting those shares first. ooops. <
...When the system came back up, my network connection was gone. All connection data, such as ip address and netmask and the like, appeared to be erased. Even after re-inputting all the network information back in, even tho the network manager recognizes my network hardware just fine, the connection won't come back.
If I enter this command as the superuser:
service network restart
I get this:
Bringing up interface eth0:
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
now, before anybody asks questions like did you reboot, yes I rebooted, yes I restarted the network, and yes, I've looked at the ifcfg-eth0 file, and everything looks correct.
Since the system is recognizing my hardware, I figure there *has* to be some config file somewhere that's wrong, or some kind of command that I can run that'll fix it easily, but I've googled everywhere and can't find an answer...
If anybody has run across this and has a *fix* for it, like a command or something, I thank you profusely in advance
