I installed Redhat 6 x86_64. I am using the Network connection screen to set a static IP address like below (I want two PC's in my house to see each other: one Redhat PC and one Mac)
192.168.0.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1
When I run ifconfig
it displays only lo
and virbr0
information. I don't know what these items are (I don't really know much about network settings).
When I try ifconfig -a
it displays eth0
, lo
, sit0
and virbr0
. The information for eth0
is as follows:
Link encap : Ethernet HWaddr 90:2B:34:74:05:30 BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:192 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes 53811 (52.5 KiB) TX bytes:468 (468.0 b) Interrupt:29 Base address:0xc000
Could someone help me to point out if anything wrong with my setting or how to resolve this problem?
