[WBEL-users] Install on AMD64, no network connectivity

[Doug Eubanks]

I have just installed WHEL3 on an AMD64 3400+, and I am having a dickens of a problem getting the network up and going...

I have tried the built in Realtek 8169, a Realtek 8139 and two 3Com cards....

I can't get the built in NIC to detect, no biggie....all of the PCI network cards I tried have the same effect....the card is dectected without errors, the link light comes on....but I can't ping anything except the local IP of the NIC.  I have tried different cables and two different ports on the switch.  I am a Network Engineer so I have tried all of the basic troubleshooting.  Can someone point me in the right direction, I can't help but feel it has something to do with either the WBEL3 AMD64 build or a related caveat...

Thanks,
Doug Eubanks
