Guest csimmons Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 The pc has an Intel 1000 GB network card in it. It seems to be taking an abnormally long time for the card to initialize. When booting, it flies past 'Network OK' then ypbind and NFS mounts fail. After the system fully boots to a window manager, the networking seems to take an additional 30 seconds or so before it accepts the statically set IP from /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.

jboy Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 Possibly it could be a problem related to ipv6. See this post by Ianw1974 for how to disable ipv6. For further info on this, you might do a board Search on ipv6. Lots of people here have reported network problems when ipv6 was enabled.

ianw1974 Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 What's the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file? Will be nice to take a look in case anything erroneous is in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest csimmons Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I figured it out. I downloaded the latest driver from Intel and compiled it. Netwoking starts right away now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
