Activate Network

[Gettingthere]

Whenever I boot FC3 the network is inactive. If I activate it, it stays active for about 3 seconds then dies again. However if I deactivate it and then activate it again it stays running.
I then have to log off and back in again to use it. What have I done wrong? :eek:

check "Applications, system tools , network device control , configure , double click on the device in the box select "enable on startup" hope this helps

If you want to know what is going on behind the scenes

navigate to
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and modify ifcfg-eth0
change the ONBOOT=no to ONBOOT=yes

Thanks for tip - however I cannot gain access and run the script. When I do I get the message Permission Denied.
I go to terminal and login as su to get to root. Is this the correct way to modify the script?
