Hello everyone,

I have sucessfully converted a number of win users into linux users Via RH
8.0/9.0 and Gentoo.  This workstation has all the bells and whisles.

Yesterday, I was contacted by one such user with the inability to access
anything outside the localhost.

I attempted to ssh in....Timeout.
I instructed the gentle user to bring up a xterm & /sbin/ifconfig.
Only lo was listed.  So it was time to actually go there.
Yes only loopback was working.
So I /sbin/service network restart.
Now eth0 was revealed and picked up a ip from dhcp.  /etc/resolv.conf
contained the correct DNS ip.
Still no IP resolution. Log-out and back-in. Nope.
I finally rebooted and all worked again.

My question,  What should I have done to correct this?

Still scratching and TIA,
j
