I have had problems on and off in booting up my RH7.2 system where the network just does not exist. By that I mean, I can ping the localhost, I can ping the internal IP of the card, but I can not ping any neighboring machine on the internal network. So ... rather than trouble shooting it ... I just reboot the system and MOST of the time that works ... other times it has taken several reboots until it finally restarts. This time ... it did not and I had to manually go into the service configuration gui ... and restart the Network there. So .. what I did is as follows: I went to the service configuration gui and started the NetWork process there. It is checked to start at boot ... but for some reason it did not. Once I restarted it, there was no problem. Anyone else had this problem and have a fix for it? I checked the boot log and eth0 comes up fine ... no real warnings or errors indicated there ... but just no network. Comments or thoughts appreciated.
