No. As I told you before, you CANNOT use IP address 127.0.0.1 for an
ethernet interface...it is already used by the pseudo-network interface
called "lo".
We need to know what you're trying to do. If you use DHCP, then the
/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 script should contain (at a
minimum):
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
If you have a fixed IP address for the interface, then the minimum
would be:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=fixed
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=www.xxx.yyy.zzz <---Put the IP address here
NETMASK=aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd <---Put the netmask here
And that should do it.
