hi,

I have disabled the dhcp, use static ip address for the networkcard, and the network is working fine. but only with one problem.
Each time I boot up the system, I have to issue the "ifup eth0" command to activate the network card, otherwise the network will not work.

Please advice how can I get the network card activate at bootup, so that I do not have to issue ifup command.

many thanks

Is it a Harddrive install or livecd?

Edit your /etc/rc.d/rc.local (redhat) or sysinit and put in there /dir/to/ifup eth0 and it will autostart it
