PC dual boot, XP & RH9.0. Networked via Draytek ADSL router. Initially
set up NIC for dhcp, (which is how it is used in XP). Boot hung at
"activating eth0 interface". Changed so as not to activate during boot
and booted OK. Now activation could be done manually with no hesitation.
Changed configuration, setting IP address statically. Same result; ie
would hang if activation during boot was called for, however if not,
could readily be activated once booted.
Changed back to dhcp, and currently I activate manually once booted.
Clearly the activation during boot is somehow different from that when
activated manually following boot. I have repeatedly checked my files
but can see no problem. Any advice welcome.
