eth0 comes up fine, picks up the ip address and is configured properly.
But, I get no access to the internet?
What should i check ?
/sbin/route Check you have a default route Check that you can ping the gateway on the default route. (If not, try re-setting up eth0 with system-config-network).
ping 64.233.187.99 ping 72.14.207.99 ping 212.58.224.83 (Those are two Google addresses and one BBC). If you get a response from any of them, then ping www.bbc.co.uk ping google.com If you get a response, blame your browser: re-configure it.
If not, your DNS is broken: investigate.
If you don't get a response to pinging by IP address, traceroute 212.58.224.83 and see how far you get.
Incidentally, it's better practice *not* to reply to list e-mails when you start a new topic. As it is, your e-mail is now technically part of another thread, and people who could help you might be ignoring that thread.
Hope this helps,
