  3. Save and exit.
  4. Then edit your ifcfg-eth0 config file with the following command:
    •  vi  /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
  5. Edit /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 to look like the following:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:E0:81:63:99:81 # This line is different for every card
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
DHCP_HOSTNAME={hostname}
USERCTL=no
