chkconfig

[doski]

If i use command chkconfig network on
i become only the prompt

does this mean it's not on?

And how do i get this on at startup?

That command will configure the 'network' service to start at startup. It is OK that it did not output anything. "No news is good news".

You can verify the setting with chkconfig --list network. It will probably output something like:

Code: Select all

network        	0:off	1:off	2:on	3:on	4:on	5:on	6:off

3 is the text-only runlevel, 5 is X (graphical), 6 is reboot and 0 is shutdown. You probably don't need to care about runlevels 1, 2 or 4.
