    lspci (a command) should list a line that describes your network interface, among just about all the other hardware you've got. If it doesn't, you know the hardware is bad.

    /etc/modprobe.conf (a file) should list a kernel module for your NIC that get loaded when the network starts. It probably aliases the interface to eth0."ifconfig -a" (a command) should list info about all the interfaces that are up.

    "ifconfig eth0" should list info about eth0 even if it's down./etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 (a file) contains info about how to configure eth0 when it comes up (like static vs. dhcp) and if it should be brought up by default.

    ifup and ifdown (commands) manually bring up and take down an interface.ifup invokes dhclient (a command) to get dhcp info. You can use it manually if you have to to test dhcp.

    Are the permissions on the files OK?644 should be enough.

    Have you tried restarting after the boot:/etc/init.d/network stop ( Just to make sure it is stopped first) Then /etc/init.d/network start

    hi,
    Code:
    ifconfig eth0 up
    that should bring up your card.
