This isn’t specifically directed at KOHA, but I am hoping somebody might shed some light on this.

I am currently setting up a Fedora 4 server for KOHA.  Under DHCP, I updated the system using yum, installed all the perl modules, etc.  The system was working perfectly. 

I then received a static ip from my network administrator and configured this using the gui in fedora.  I went to command line and issued a ifdown eth0 command, and then when I issue a ifup etho I received the following error message:

RTNETLINK answers: File Exists

I cannot ping anything, and I cannot be pinged….i had my network admin look at it, and we both couldn’t figure it out.  I saw posts all over the web but still could not find the fix….can anybody shine any light on this?  I could just reinstall, but don’t want to if I don’t have to….
