Hi
I read the eth1 and have this ip address it is automatically assigned from system
inet addr:0.0.0.6 Bcast:255.255.255.255
What is this address meaning?
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1B:21:07:A5:94 inet addr:0.0.0.6 Bcast:255.255.255.255 Mask:0.0.0.0 inet6 addr: fe80::21b:21ff:fe07:a594/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:3944052 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:4959117 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:2610056956 (2.4 GiB) TX bytes:4864161519 (4.5 GiB) Base address:0xec00 Memory:fdc00000-fdc20000

It means something's misconfigured. Can you post the contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 ? _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Nowhere in here do you give the device a way to get an IP address. You've turned off DHCP, but don't give a static address, so I guess it's just picking a random value from somewhere.
Say something like this:
DEVICE=eth1 HWADDR=00:1B:21:07:A5:94 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=static IPADDR=1.2.3.4 NETMASK=255.255.255.0

Do you want this NIC to be on or off ...
If you want it off, set ONBOOT=no
If you want it on, you will either need to turn on DHCP or assign a static address.
