My problem is almost exactly like:

Except I checked the network card, and it is screwed in.
I ran a ping from a XP PC to the static IP on eth0:1 as it is booting up, and I got a response. As soon as GNOME/X11 loads, the IP goes dead.
I installed Fedora Core 3 less than a week ago. I run a web server off a Linux box, and I switched from HD installed KNOPPIX and reformatted the hard drive for the Fedora install.
Everything worked fine, until today. I did some updates via Up2Date via VNC and then I lost the connection. I tried to reconnect, but each reconnect failed. I went to the Fedora box, and the desktop was up, I checked the Network devices and they were listed as "Inactive", I tried to activate them, and it said I had to be root. I decided to reboot and maybe something got clobbered in memory or something. Disk space is 5.5G out of 6.5G for the Linux EXT2 partition, seems like enough is free, Swap partition is 1G, 256M of RAM, 700Mhz Celeron CPU, A-Bit VH6-II motherboard, Riva TNT2 AGP video adapter, slight problem with booting off the CD drive, but the work-a-round was to boot off a floppy. Realtek RTL8029AS PCI Ethernet device, worked like a champ until today.
I have DSL, with a LinkSYS Wireless router, I forget the model number, it supports DHCP and my XP box works fine with it and grabs a DHCP assigned IP. XP box is a Laptop with Broadcom Wireless, which has no Linux driver that I know of. Fedora box has Ethernet nic with CAT5 cable going to a port in the Wireless router, has not been removed or touched for about a year now.
Anyway after the reboot, logged in as root, activated the eth0 device. It says "Active" for 15-30 seconds and then goes "Inactive" again. :mad: It seems to grab an IP, and has DHCP set to do this. After the first activate, tried a second activate, and then it displayed a lot of words going by fast in a dialog box, which then was replaced with a different dialog box that says "failed" on it. I am unable to find the first dialog box, or even read what it says. After the second activate, the system goes kind of wonky for any network configuration program unless I reboot, and the same thing happens again. :eek:
I am posting this from the XP machine.
Any ideas?
I had tried in the past few days to install Mono, XSP, and Mod-Mono with Apache 2.0.52, but I think those are unrelated. Mod-Mono broke Apache, claiming it was a version number it was apparently not, so I removed it from the Apache configuration.
