Description of problem:
I just upgraded from RedHat 7.1 to RedHat 7.3 and I have a static IP address 
setup on my only NIC card in the box.  During boot, the NIC shows up and gets 
an OK when it goes past it.  However when I log in, and try to ping anything it 
says the network is unreachable.  I've tested the cable, the hub with my laptop 
and everything is good.  The problem occurs either at the card or in the 
software.  (The card was functioning just fine when using 7.1).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot
2. 
3. 
	

Actual Results:  ifconfig eth0 shows that the interface is up, and the GUI 
network configuration tools says that the network is active.  The default 
gateway is set according to the route and netstat -rn commands.  When trying to 
ping the gateway, I receive a message stating that the network is unreachable.

Expected Results:  The network should have been reachable.

Red Hat apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We do want to
make sure that no important bugs slip through the cracks.

Red Hat Linux 7.3 and Red Hat Linux 9 are no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
They are maintained by the Fedora Legacy project (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/)
for security updates only. If this is a security issue, please reassign to the
'Fedora Legacy' product in bugzilla. Please note that Legacy security update
support for these products will stop on December 31st, 2006.

If this is not a security issue, please check if this issue is still present
in a current Fedora Core release. If so, please change the product and version
to match, and check the box indicating that the requested information has been
provided.

If you are currently still running Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9, please note that
Fedora Legacy security update support for these products will stop on December
31st, 2006. You are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release
or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may
be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/.

Any bug still open against Red Hat Linux 7.3 or 9 at the end of 2006 will be
closed 'CANTFIX'. Again, if this bug still exists in a current release, or is a
security issue, please change the product as necessary. We thank you for your
help, and apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point.
