I installed a RedHat 8.0, but I can't ping the network.
I used a static address 192.168.1.85 mask 255.255.255.0.
Connected the linux box to a switch and tried to ping a windows box with ip 192.168.1.46.

I get the message:
host unreachable

I never had this problem before with Redhat 6.2

HELP!!!!

Thank you

do you have a DHCP server running? if so, try setting your linux box to obtain an ip address. if not, make sure your drivers for the nic are installed correctly.

I have a windows DHCP server running. But the static ip I assigned for the Linux box doesn't fall under the DHCP scope.

The drivers are correct, unless there is something wrong. My NIC is a 3c595

route -n shows
Destination Gateway Genmask
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.254 0.0.0.0

This happens also with Redhat 7.3...
Could be the computer? I noticed that when I start ping the ethernet card turns off.

I have Gateway 3400
