CentOS 5 Networking :: Ifcfg-eth0.bak File Created By Kudzu In VMware Clone Of 5.3
Jul 12, 2010
I run a VMware clone of CentOS 5.3, I observe that kudzu [i.e. /etc/init.d/kudzu, from /etc/rc3.d/S05kudzu or /etc/rc5.d/S05kudzu] detects a MAC address change on eth0 and then creates a /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.bak file. This .bak file is identical to the original ifcfg-eth0 file except for the value of the HWADDR [i.e. MAC address] parameter. I would be unconcerned but for the fact that /usr/bin/neat indicates that both ifcfg-eth0 AND ifcfg-eth0.bak are 'Active'. The following solution may help others with the same (or similar) problem:

I've been racking my brains over the past few days trying to figure out why my NIC card (network interface card) won't show up in the ifcfg-eth0 file.When I configure a new server (like this one) I always go to:/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and from there I usally see the name of my NIC's manufacturer's name and the hardware MAC address.Then it's only a simple process of entering the server's IP address, netmask and gateway and I'm up and running in no time...But not in this case! the ifcfg-eth0 file is completely blank! There's not ONE single line of config info in it... (?)The server runs an Intel core 2 duo (dual-core) CPU with 1 gig of RAM.
I've even re-formatted the drive and re-installed Centos 5.1 on the darn thing 3 times and it simply won't work.The server cannot resolve when I do a wgetIt also gives me a 'resolution problem in the named configuration'.What I don't understand is that the 2 small LEDs on the Cat 5 cable lights up and flash at what appear to be regular intervals here.

Running Centos 5.5 64bit. Sometimes I boot this instalation in real machine, sometimas using vmware workstation. The problem is that these environments have different network interface cards - as soon as kudzu detects that network device changed it renames ifcfg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0.bak and places new default ifcfg-eth0.
Is it possible to command kudzu to leave ifcfg-eth0 as it is ?

When I do service network start it is giving me the error grep : can not find directory ifcfg-ifcfg-eth0....
For some reason it is adding another ifcfg to my ifcfg-eth0 file.

I have just upgraded a CentOS 5.2 box to Centos 5.3
I did have a bridged networking setup for Virtualbox which worked well. eth0 was bridged with br0. br0 boot protocol was DHCP and it sent its DHCP_HOSTNAME to the windows DHCP servers.
since the upgrade the br0 does not get an address but the eth0 does. I found that the scripts in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* are getting rewritten.
I figure I may not need to have a bridge any more so I stripped that out to try to get a simple network setup working. I now just have eth0. I edited /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 so that it looked like this,
~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
# Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

When I setup the server I added multiple ips. Now that I need to edit ip info I can't find any alias files in the network-scripts folder. But restarting server the ips work fine. Is there some where else that this would be stored.

I am having a problem when creating alias in Fedora Core 10. When i create a file like "ifcfg-eth0:1" and put contents in it like
DEVICE=eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=ip addrss
Netmask=Netmask
and when i save settings and restart with "service network restart" the network card does not create any alias like eth0:1 instead it replace the original ip address of eth0 with the ip address i given to eth0:1. So i want to keep both network ips of eth0 and eth0:1.

Running CentOS5.4 on home-build.The wireless card setup is working,at least with regard to internet access through a Linksys router.Trying to set up Windows shares using SAMBA has been problemmatic. After many searches the ifcfg file seems to be a mystery. So what is meant by the "ADDRESS0=" in the ifcfg-wlan0 file. it is the ""the NETWORK that matches the NETMASK". But even that I cannot quite understand (apparently) as my efforts to enter different items in this file have all failed.

I'm nearly at the end of creating a shell script that automates changing network settings by prompting the user for desired settings, then applying them.
In the course of my development, I created temporary copies of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp1, for example) so as to not alter the original file. Little did I know that on boot the system would attempt to load each of these kinds of files and associate it with an ethernet connection, in this case eth0.
So..... now there are multiple copies in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts diretory that essentially have the same settings. They are..
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp1
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0_tmp2
Now when the system boots, it attempts to load them all. The boot doesn't appear to complete, and I can't ping, login, or otherwise access the system through convention routes (putty, etc.).
The easy solution would be to delete the tmp files and reboot. Now, how do I do that without being able to log in to the server. It's a VM by the way, if that makes a difference.

I set up a bridge device but I can not figure out how to pass parameters into the ifcfg-vmbr0 in particular I need to pass:
maxage
ageing
fd and stp seems to be passed by DELAY=0 and STP=on the others? I have not found anything in the post, tips, docs how could I do?

I'm running a fresh install on an intel i7 system on an asus p6t deluxe v2 motherboard with the onboard NIC (Marvell Technology pci-e). I know the NIC is working as when I boot into the onboard OS that Asus provides (Asus Express Gate SSD)I have a working net connection.Booting up CentOS hangs at determining IP information for eth0 and eventually fails with the following error:PING xxx.170.30.1 from xxx.170.31.231 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data---xxx.170.30.1 ping statistics ---4 packets transmitted, o received, +3 errors, 100% packet loss, time 2999ms, pipe 3 failed.

I installed CentOS on Vmware server 2.0.2
I took a snapshot of my machine with internet working
If I reboot my machine I lose internet. This makes no sense to me.
I ifconfig eth0 down then ifconfig eth0 up and still no internet
Weird thing
I check ifconfig and my bcast ID is 192.168.2.255 when it is supposed to be 192.168.45.255
(When the internet is working if I check ifconfig the bcast ID is 192.168.2.255)
IF I change my bcast my internet stops working
If I reboot my machine my internet stops working
I checked /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and I see that in my snapshot (where the internet is actually working) the bcast is at 192.168.2.255
Without rebooting if I edit that script and I put it to .45.255 my internet stops working
If I reboot my machine at any time my internet stops working
I have also just realized that I cannot ping my gateway..

I have 2 10gb fiber cards on a server running red hat 5.3, eth4 and eth5. After replacing the eth4 card, it doesnt show up any ifcfg-eth4 file. I tried ifconfig -a, but it doesnt show up in modprobe.conf either, although it is listed when I do a lspci. Should I manually add it? or is there something Im missing here?

(and new-ish to Linux in general) and would appreciate some assistance with fixing a problem I'm having with getting wireless working on my computer.Computer specs: Lenovo Thinkpad Edge 520, I5Wireless card: Intel WiFi Link 1000 b/g/n(Note: I also have a Netgear USB wireless adapter, and trying to use this does not solve my problem)I cannot activate wireless. When I go to Network Settings > Wireless, it is listed as "unavailable", and "off". When I try to switch wireless "on", it says "disconnected", but then immediately switches back to "off".Having tried to browse various forums and such for a solution, I tried looking for the file ifcfg-wlan0 under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, but it doesn't exist

I have been running into network issues lately with my CentOS 5 (installed on AMD Athlon X2 - 64 bit machine about 2 years ago). It was able to connect to the network fine until yesterday when I installed more memory into the machine restarted it.
Upon restart, the boot up was paused at 'Determining IP information for eth0' step for a while and booted with out connecting to the network. I tried restarting the network (/sbin/service network restart), but this is the error message I continuously get: Determining IP information for eth0...PING xxx.1.226.1 (xxx.1.226.1) from xxx.1.226.83 eth0: 56(84) bytes of data

I've seen this pop up a few times on the forum but my setup is slightly different. I have a PC with an ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium motherboard. I've just installed CentOS 5.1. Yes, I know this is ancient, but this is what they're developing on at work. I'm trying to get connected either via ethernet or wireless and neither one works. When I boot the computer to Window XP it does connect on ethernet. Ethernet should be easy so I'm concentrating on that. But I get "Determining IP information for eth0... failed." after a 'service network start'.Here is some other information that was asked on similar threads:
> uname -rmi
2.6.18-53.el5 x86_64 x86_64
> grep eth0 /etc/modprobe.conf

I'm having a problem and despite I have googled a lot cant find the root cause. I have a server with two embedded NICs and centos 5.5 loaded. I need to have one NIC with a fix internal IP address to communicate with the intranet and a second NIC with a fix address from my telephone provider. I know I cant have two different gateways on the net so I configured only the gateway for the second NIC leaving the field empty for the first.
I found that the first NIC is handling all the traffic for both interfaces (eth0 and eth1) and the second NIC is in standby (or doing nothing). This is causing the traffic intended for the second NIC never reach their destination. After a couple days working with the BIOS and other configuration files I tried another way of solve the issue. I put a fix address for the first NIC and another fix address for the second NIC (both in the same subnet) and from a computer pinged successfully both addresses. However if I disconnect the cable for the first NIC both interfaces goes down (eth0 and eth1) and both pings fails. If I disconnect the cable for the second NIC (with the first one connected) both pings still running without any disturbance.
I worked also in a second server with different hardware (different kind of motherboard, different NIC manufacturer, etc.) but the problem is also present in this second server. I was reading about NIC bonding or teaming, but this configuration is not present in the modprobe.conf or in the ifcfg-eth0 files, so I believe the problem is not related with this feature. Do you know what is happening with the NICs and how can I get two really, fully independent NICs?

I am currently working to get to a stable dual boot Win7/CentOS 5.5 configuration on a Dell Latitude E6510 with the Intel 82577LM chipset. I haven't gotten the Centrino N WiFI chipset working yet, but the Eth0 device was working just fine.However, yesterday I did a system update. I did not pay close attention, but I believe the update did mention networking, because I thought it might help me get my wireless going. Now, Eth0 fails with the message, "Determining IP information for eth0... failed; no link present. Check cable?" It does this at boot up and if we try reactivating it once the system is up. We have tried unstalling and re-installing the driver.The Window 7 boot sees the adapter and runs just fine. I was at a different site location yesterday when everything was working, but my co-workers and I can't help but think it might be related to the update yesterday, since everything worked prior to the update and Windoze 7 works fine with the adapter.
I have not been able to mount my NTFS harddrive on the CentOS side, despite installing fuse, and I don't have wireless, which makes it difficult to get access to new drivers. I also have a FAT32 partition that would be great to share between the boots for passing info, but I haven't found a way to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS.
