Ifconfig(s):

Seems that the non-SMP kernel works fine.
Here is the ifconfig;
   [root@localhost root]# uname -r
   2.6.6-1.435.2.3
   [root@localhost root]# ifconfig
   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:E3:1D:3F:32
             inet addr:192.168.0.102  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

             RX bytes:5810 (5.6 Kb)  TX bytes:1036 (1.0 Kb)

   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
             UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
             RX packets:143 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
             TX packets:143 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

             RX bytes:9270 (9.0 Kb)  TX bytes:9270 (9.0 Kb)
                                                                             
   [root@localhost root]#




But the SMP kernel has issues;

   [root@localhost root]# uname -r
   2.6.6-1.435.2.3smp
   [root@localhost root]# ifconfig
   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
             UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
             RX packets:128 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
             TX packets:128 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
             collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
             RX bytes:8670 (8.4 Kb)  TX bytes:8670 (8.4 Kb)
       
                                                                     
   [root@localhost root]# ifconfig -a
   eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:02:E3:1D:3F:32
             BROADCAST MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
             RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
             TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:3 overruns:0 carrier:0
             collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
             RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:2736 (2.6 Kb)
             Interrupt:10 Base address:0x2000
                                                                             
   lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
             inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
             UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1

             TX packets:128 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

             RX bytes:8670 (8.4 Kb)  TX bytes:8670 (8.4 Kb)

   [root@localhost root]#



Then I did the static IP number thing, but had/have a communication problem;

[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 down
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.49 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig eth0 up
[root@localhost root]# ifconfig

         RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:4080 (3.9 Kb)
         Interrupt:10 Base address:0x2000
                                                                                               
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
         inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
         UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
         RX packets:210 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
