Re: urgent help needed for network problem!

Ttwo ifcfg-* files are as below:

# cat ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
IPADDR="128.252.85.129"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
ONBOOT="yes"
IPXNETNUM_802_2=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_2="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_2="no"
IPXNETNUM_802_3=""
IPXPRIMARY_802_3="no"
IPXACTIVE_802_3="no"
IPXNETNUM_ETHERII=""
IPXPRIMARY_ETHERII="no"
IPXACTIVE_ETHERII="no"
IPXNETNUM_SNAP=""
IPXPRIMARY_SNAP="no"
IPXACTIVE_SNAP="no"

[root@morpheus network-scripts]# cat ifcfg-lo
DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
# If you're having problems with gated making 127.0.0.0/8 a martian,
# you can change this to something else (255.255.255.255, for example)
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
NAME=loopback
BOOTPROTO=none

There is no GTEWAYIP line.  But, linuxconf does show the default gateway
is 128.252.85.254.  What's wrong?

Also, this system does not have -R option for grep.
