Centos 4.0 P4 Dual Xeon 2gig Ram One 100mb NIC
The problem is that the nic won't hold a fixed IP address. What I mean is that if I refresh it, after booting up by typing "ifdown eth0" and then "ifup eth0" - it then reflects the correct IP address. However, it won't 'have' and IP address upon boot. Also, it seems to hang on the logger service starting up. It sits there attempting to start logger for like 3-4 minutes (timed!). I suspect this problem is most likely related to the IP problem.
I've tried moving the network connection to a dedicated HUB and still no luck.
What is the correct config file to edit to set the IP address correctly? I tried editing the one in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts - but that didn't fix my problem.
Thanks. Scott
