Problem with ethernet

Post by angeldvl88 » 2014/04/14 10:07:50

Hi everybody,
i have just installed Centos minimal 6.5 for the first time on my laptop.
I have a problem with ethernet: I abilitated eth0 by writing:

Code: Select all

 ifconfig eth0 up
but when i reboot it is again disabilitated.
So i followed the official guide and change the value of "BOOTON" from no to yes by writing as root:

Code: Select all

# cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ 
# sed -i -e 's@^ONBOOT="no@ONBOOT="yes@' ifcfg-eth0
i then tried to see if it was applied but no. How can i solve? My aim is to configure the server to get to internet.
Thanks to everybody who will answer me.

Edit the file manually and see if it says ONBOOT=yes or ONBOOT=no. If it's still no, change it to yes and save it.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
