Network Link question

[Jorge Cocomess]

Scratch that. I forgot the GATEWAY= line for /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Once I added the line for GATEWAY I was able to get access outside world.

Now, my problem is up2date is coming back telling me that " up2date up2date

Fetching Obsoletes list for channel: rhel-ia64-as-4...

Fetching rpm headers...

The following packages you requested are already updated:
up2date"

However, when I tried this, cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant Update 3)

I am certain that Redhat is now on Update 4 or even 5.

Any ideas what's wrong??

Thanks,
Jorge

here is what i do. But we have satellite server configured.

run "up2date up2date" -- can do this now
run "up2date -u -d" -- this will download the new software from the satellite server to the local machine
run "up2date -u" -- this will install the software -- will take about 5-10 minutes to complete

Once I have the network part taken care of, this update went like it should be.

Thanks everyone for your help.
