Network Cards

[Ayman Altounji]

I am having a nightmare getting the Network cards to work stably in Redhat 7.0 Is there anything you can offer in the way of advice?
I configured the NICs using Linuxconf, and I can ping the server, but I cannot ping out.

Have set up gateway information?
How about dns (check /etc/resolv.conf)
If you can ping the server you only reach the NIC. Try a known IP-adr. on your network segment. Also the cable should be checket

If all fails, get hold on an a crossed cable and connect directly to another computer (with the same network addr)

regards

First, verifiy what the exact Intel chip set that is being used on the network controller. Then install the latest Linux driver for your chip set from Intel's web site at this web address.

The latest Intel chip sets use the "e100" driver, not the older "epro100" driver that ships with the Linux OS.
