Connection problem - more information

[Paul F. Johnson]

Hi,

On a spare drive, I did a vanilla install of FC2. All is happy and well 
(except for my mouse not working). No problems with networking or anything 
like that.

This leads me to suspect that one of the rawhide updates has screwed my 
system which I was unaware of as I've not done a reset in ages.

A few odd things have happened though

/sbin/ifdown eth0 is fine
/sbin/ifup eth0 gives this

Determining IP information for device eth0 ... SIOCADDRT file exists
Done
RTNETLINK reports : Invalid argument

/sbin/route -n looks okay

Destination  Gateway  Genmask       Flags  Metric  Ref  Use  Iface
192.168.2.0  0.0.0.0  255.255.255.0 U      0       0    0    eth0
169.254.0.0  0.0.0.0  255.255.0.0   U      0       0    0    eth0
127.0.0.0    0.0.0.0  255.0.0.0     U      0       0    0    lo
0.0.0.0      0.0.0.0  0.0.0.0       U      0       0    0    eth0

And finally

/sbin/mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok

Any ideas of what could have gone wrong or how to fix this problem will be 
met with a tankard or two of fine headed, nut brown ale (if you're in or 
around Merseyside or Manchester, UK). For those overseas, I'll get you a pint 
or two at some point :-)

TTFN

Paul
