Ok, I added the /etc/sysconfig info and the network info but the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 is where I think I went wrong.
There was only a ifcfg-lo for the local info so I went ahead and added the
file with the info according to the "how to" page and then I made the file
executable, is the correct, or is that file already suppose to be there?
After adding the file I did a "ifup eth0" and it hung tring to find the
adapter which I know works with ifconfig, so it must be a mistake in the
script.
I'll go ahead print the files here so you can see and I haven't even tried
to get the second network adapter working yet which is eth1.
/etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=YES
HOSTNAME="me.mydomain.com"
DOMAINNAME="me.com"
GATEWAY="my dls router"
GATEWAYDEV=eth1
Now for the script I created. etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
IPADDR="10.10.10.254"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="10.10.10.0
BROADCAST="10.10.10.255"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="bootp"
now that I have looked in there after running the script, linux addes about
20 lines starting with IPX, weird.
Well, looks like I am close, but I think one of the files above is the
culprit.
Any ideas.
Thanks for the help
Dave

You have a couple of options.
1) You could manually edit the networking files in /etc/sysconfig, or
2) You could run "linuxconf" from a command prompt.
In the event that you want to do 1), you first need to enter some
info in "/etc/sysconfig/network". The info needed in this file is
simple to enter, as the categories are rather self-evident. Then,
you'll need to edit "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0".
Again, the categories are pretty self-evident, with the possible
exception of "BOOTPROTO=", which should be set to "static"
HTH.
