Results of On-board NIC.../etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if?-eth0 = null

["Brent W." <brenthel yahoo com>]

Lights are on at both ends.

Here's where i think the part of the problem is those
two files /etc/sysconfig/network and
 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/if?-eth0

first one reads...
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain


the second file(is the ? part of the file), if so the
file is empty.  if not, what is supposed to be there?




How do i access the config file for the Firewall?  Is
that in my D-Link GUI thing?



btw i am able to ping the linux box ip address from
the linux box?  Am i hitting the routing and its
forwarding the ping or is it not even leaving my
machine?


thanks again.  
DETERMINED!!!
