|
| This machine has 2 NIC cards – one for local network and

|
| For some reason, FC cannot see the NIC cards.
|
| When I examine DMESG, FC4 seems to find each card, identify the
|
| driver, the MAC address of each card, and the IRQ to be used
|
|
| Also the startup screen shows eth0 and eth1 starting with the green
|  “OK”
|
| But the route commands attempting to use dev eth0 or dev eth1
|
| return “no such device” as an error message and when I try to
|
| ping localhost or a static IP I get the message “network is
| unreachable”
|
| The cables are plugged into the same hubs that other servers
| successfully
|
| use.
|
|
| Does anyone have an idea where I can look for solution?
|
| And if I may be permitted a small rant, I think FC in general is a
| poor,
|
| poor second to the regular releases we used to get from Red Hat.
| This is the
|
| second time I’ve installed FC4 on this machine. The first time, the
|  screen
|
| would blink off for no reason, and BIND wouldn’t see the local
| network.
|
| Now, after the 2^nd installation, the screen behaves itself, but I
| have problems with
|
| the network cards.
|
| This stuff is supposed to run – like do useful things? – not be a
| project which goes
|
| on and on trying to get it to work. For me, the Fedora Project has
| "we don't care" written
|
| all over it.
|
|
| End of Rant.
|
| Thanks

have you checked, if you have a firewall up and running, and its rules?
