Eth0: link is not ready

[Richard Reina]

Hoping someone can help me with this Centos machine, kernel 2.6.32-358.14.1.el6.x86_64 After a power outage I get eth0: link is not ready -- see additional output in the attached photo. This Happened once before and I repowered the switch and it then worked. Have tried that remedy twice this time and it has not worked. This machine just sits on our LAN and sends faxes and thus is not connected to the interned even when networking is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry about the image, but can't connect to machine to post output.

Hello Richard,

This is typically the message you get when your cable is unplugged. If
it is plugged in, make sure you have a good connection. Re-seat the
cable on both ends. If that doesn't work try another cable. If that
doesn't work, figure out which NIC is bad (might be the one on the other
side) and replace it.

Thanks for the reply. It was in fact the cable.

Years ago I was roaming around Fry's and picked up an Ethernet cable
tester similar to this one. It's paid for itself many times over since
then.
