      Network Configuration->Activate fails, the error message is:

Cannot activate network device eth0!
Determining IP information for eth0...PING 10.0.0.1 (10.0.0.1) from 
10.0.0.2 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data.

  failed.

      Sorry to say I am not familiar with these network functions. I 
hope ifconfig can tell us something:

[root at localhost oler]# ifconfig -a
