Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I can't find my ethernet network card on my centos 6 virtual server. This is setup over a ESX platform.<br />
<br />
Troubleshooting done:<br />
1. When I run &quot;ifconfig&quot;, it only shows my loopback interface<br />
2. If I do system-config-network &nbsp;( I see the network card with the correct ip address)<br />
3. If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scr<wbr />ipts &nbsp;( I see ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo)<br />
4. If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scr<wbr />ipts/ifcfg<wbr />-eth0 &nbsp;(the correct info is there)<br />
5. When I do service network restart, I get a message that reads: &nbsp;Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.<br />
6. On the VM settings is set to &quot;Connected&quot; and Connect at power on.<br />
<br />
How do I fix this? &nbsp;thank you for your help

Hi Experts,

I can't find my ethernet network card on my centos 6 virtual server. This is setup over a ESX platform.

Troubleshooting done:
1. When I run "ifconfig", it only shows my loopback interface
2. If I do system-config-network  ( I see the network card with the correct ip address)
3. If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts  ( I see ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-lo)
4. If I go to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0  (the correct info is there)
5. When I do service network restart, I get a message that reads:  Device eth0 does not seem to be present, delaying initialization.
6. On the VM settings is set to "Connected" and Connect at power on.

How do I fix this?  thank you for your help

Centos cannot find ethernet card - virtual machine

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

Linux Distributions

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
