Hi All, I've added a network card to one of my linux boxes, a simple "intranet" server running a few web applications. We added the card to allow the box to masquerade a small lan out to the internet. (I know all the implications of using your intranet server as a firewall, but this small customer likes this solution better, since he recently lost several hours of work because of a consumer firewall dropping dead on him, and he's not ready to invest in another server).
I added the network card, and rebooted the machine. Kudzu detected the card with no problems, and asked me to configure networking. I did. Now upon reboot it says: Bringing up interface lo: Missing config file ifcfg. [FAILED] Bringing up interface eth0: Missing config file ifcfg. [FAILED] Bringing up interface eth1: Missing config file ifcfg. [FAILED] If I go in and do ifconfig eth0 ip.add.re.ss netmask 255.255.255.224 ifconfig eth1 ip.add.re.ss netmask 255.255.255.224 ifconfig lo ip.add.re.ss netmask 255.255.255.224 route add default gw ip.add.re.ss then start my rc.firewall script, everything works perfectly. Why has my "normal" means of restarting networking failed? This is replicable on my system, by doing service network restart any ideas?
