No Network access with Fedora Core 8

  • 772

I have recently taken over for another system admin on a project and am in the process of figuring out what we have on our servers before rebuilding things the way they need to be. I have one Dell server running Fedora Core 8. I am unable to connect to the network at all.

I am plugged into a known good port, I have tried dhcp and manual set IP configurations. The dhcp will not receive a lease. After both methods I am not even able to ping my gateway. I have diabled all the firewalls to make sure those are not the issue. Here is my ifconfig.

eth0   Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1C:23:E2:FC:56
       UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MYU:1500 Metric:1
       RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
       TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
       collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
       RX bytes:0 (0.0b) TX bytes:0 (0.0b)
       Interrupt:16

This is configured with dhcp just after doing a dhclient eth0 and it returns no working leases.

What else should I check?

linux networking fedora

    Well I'd run an:

    ifconfig -a
route -v

    Check dmesg and logs for related info. Check the ethernet card itself. Is the other Sysadmin available? Did he leave under less than amicable circumstances?

    You mention firewalls was the server running iptables?
