I apparantly forgot how to get a Linux box to connect to the Internet, am seeking
counsel to get my box back online.
I reinstalled Red Hat 7.2, and now can't reach the Internet (not a HUGE shock!).
I can successfully ping 127.0.0.0.1 but attempts to ping my default gw or even
"localhost" generates a "Network is unreachable" message.
I am pretty sure I have /etc/hosts and resolv.conf set correctly.
This file currently looks like /etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=(my hostname...)
GATEWAY=(my ISP's default gw here...)
And /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=(my IP address here...)
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=(my ISP's default gw here...)
BROADCAST=(not 100% certain what this should look like)
NETWORK=(should this be my default gw with a .255 at the end?)
USERCTL=no
What am I overlooking?
