New install NIC problem

[Mark Berkwitt]

I did the modem off/on thing before the problem came up with RH.
Like I said, I had it working fine in XP.

Cable modems lock into the MAC address of the NIC. If you attempt to
change NIC's, you must power the cable modem off for several minutes -
this will cause it to reset, reload it's configuration from the TFTP
servers on Cox's network and permit you to change NIC's.

I know of no other way to do this.

try ifconfig - what does it report?

look at /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

does it look like... (I'm guessing at this because I don't use dhcp)

DEVICE='eth1'
BROADCAST=''
IPADDR=''
NETMASK=''
NETWORK=''
ONBOOT='yes'
BOOTPROTO='DHCP'

if so, try - ifup eth1
