hello,
I use to have one static ip.. so i went into - nano /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 I updated it to my main new ip.. I am still getting no connection... :( subnet mask everything seems to be right according to the cable company... Do i need to update anything else? im not sure what im missing.. thanks if it matters at all.. i got the static ips last night at 8pm .. i called today and they said everything was provisional so it should be working... ??? |

May be a silly question, but, have you restarted the network service after altering the IP in the aforementioned file?
Try: If your previously assigned IP address has immediately been revoked, and you haven't restarted the network service, this could your culprit. |

I did do that.. and i have restarted a bunch of times.. im wondering if i should wait another 48 hours??? i know last time i got static ips they really messed the whole thing up and gave them to someone else... so i had to get new ones... but instead of waiting a few days... im starting to think that they did the same thing again... ?? not unless there is something im missing... the modem is still in bridge mode... |

Meanwhile, ask Tex to get them to pro-rate your bill for the time out of service.
