I've a new CentOS 5 minimalist install; this will be the name server from my prior thread. I have configured eth0 during setup with the static IP the unit will have when in production. During this setup phase, selinux is set to permissive.
Setting up on a different network, I did this:
dhclient eth0 and successfully got a private address; I also validated that the resolv.conf file was created by the dhclient-script and it was, accurately pointing to my gateway and listing a domain name server by IP.
That's where the fun stops. Even pinging an IP, so as not to rely on name resolution, I get the dreaded 'Network is unreachable' error.
OK if everything is setup correctly then I would first look to see if the firewall, on that system, is blocking then check the routing to ensure it is properly setup.
