Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

I just had my VPS server migrated to upgraded hardware and afterwards I was not getting a network connection. I am running Gentoo server.

I first ran the command ifconfig and only the lo adapter was up. So I ran ifconfig eth0 up then ifconfig. The eth0 adapter was there but it did not have an IP address.

I checked the config file /etc/conf.d/net it looks like:
config_eth0=("70.42.74.192 netmask 255.255.255.0")
routes_eth0=("default via 70.42.74.254")

I have run /etc/init.d/network restart and rebooted the machine several times. All results with no IP address for the eth0 adapter.

Any help will be appreciated.

It is likely that you either do not have /etc/init.d/net.eth0 defined or it is not in your default runlevel. Try this:

/etc/init.d/net.eth0 restart

If that is not a valid command, copy the net.lo file over and try again:

ln -s /etc/init.d/net.lo /etc/init.d/net.eth0

If this gives you a valid IP in "ifconfig", make sure that it's also in the default runlevel:

rc-update add net.eth0 default

Thank you this resolved my issue.
