Description of problem:

I recently received a linux server with Red Hat Cent Os installed on it. I made some basic settings once, and everything seemed to work fine until I recently started getting an error message every time I try accessing the network settings. Please look at the message below and the attached screenshot.

I need some help about fixing this problem...

Can you give me a few hints on how to make sure all the IPs are properly set up, and how to get rid of this bug message so I can access the network configurations again? Also, can you tell me if I can rely on the Open Port Check Tool I'm currently using for this server?  Is this Server supposed to have DHCP enabled or run on static private or public IP address?

Any help by email would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

Regards...
