Network startup on IBM Thinkpad

[Carlos Hendson]

Is the system service "network" enabled at the runlevel you're booting
to?

>From console type the following to show which runlevels are enabled:
/sbin/chkconfig --list network

If network is off for the runlevel you wish to use type:
/sbin/chkconfig --level <insert runlevel here> network on

HTH.
