I just did a fresh install of centos 5.0 from cd, followed by yum update which installed 399 packages. No failures or errors that I can see. I have three nics in the box, but am only setting up one at the moment. The box can ping others in my network, but if I try ssh, telnet, ftp, etc I get this: [root at cm network-scripts]# ftp watchdog ftp: connect: No route to host ftp> [root at cm sysconfig]# ftp 172.17.2.242 ftp: connect: No route to host root at cm network-scripts]# telnet watchdog Trying 172.17.2.242... telnet: connect to address 172.17.2.242: No route to host telnet: Unable to connect to
