    Using FC4, installed by means of "Howtoforge"
    Installed fresh with 2 NICs, eth0 was a NIC card I removed, eth1 was onboard NIC. had trouble accessing email, so tried to re-do the ifcfg-eth0 files.
    All seems fine on the local network, accessing it behind router to my static ip's.
    From outside (public) cannot access www, email, not a thing...
    I turned off ispconfig firewall. All worked ok when 2 NICs were installed,...I just opened a can of worms taking out the NIC card, trying to run on the onboard NIC instead!
    ************
    I made all these look the same:
    /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
    /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

    DEVICE=eth0
    BOOTPROTO=static
    BROADCAST=68.105.242.63
    HWADDR=BLABLABLA
    IPADDR=68.105.242.53
    NETMASK=255.255.255.224
    NETWORK=68.105.242.32
    ONBOOT=yes
    TYPE=Ethernet
    ************
    Did I miss a network config file, or something else files?
    Did I do those 3 files correct?

    I am not very bright, eh?
    Thanks for any input,
    Rob

    You mean you had eth0 and eth1, and then you removed eth0? I'd say you then need the files

    /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth1
    /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth1
    /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

    because you're using eth1. And as DEVICE in these files you should also use eth1 instead of eth0.

    Can you post the output of
    Code:
    ifconfig
    here?

    Thanks

    I found out what was happening - I have a couple ip addresses that have not been used in awhile, cycled power on my cable modem, I can ping all the way out now.
