Re: Ethernet help

["redhat nextnet com" <redhat nextnet com>]

It was suggested that I try changing netmask to 255.255.255.0. Nothing
changed. 

DEVICE=eth0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR= 66.134.88.36
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY= 66.134.88.33

I then tried /sbin/ifconfig and got the following:

eth0    Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:01:04:F7:AB
        inet adr:66.134.88.36  Bcast:66.134.88.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
        UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
        RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
        TX packets:10 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0
        collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
        Interrupt:5 Base address:0xe400

lo      Link encap:Local Loopback
        inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask 255.0.0.0
        UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436  Metric:1
        RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
        TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:10 carrier:0
        collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

Here is /sbin/route:

Kernal IP routing table
Destination     Gateway     Genmask         Flags   Metric  Ref Use Iface
66.134.88.0     *           255.255.255.0   U       0       0   0   eth0
127.0.0.0       *           255.0.0.0       U       0       0   0   lo
default        66.134.88.33   0.0.0.0       UG      0       0   0   eth0

There is no firewall.

thanks in advance for any help
