How does one enable a host to be active? Meaning I just configured all the proper TCP/IP configurations I get success full connections to my network. But when I try to ping the server I get an error that says "Host is Down". My TCP/IP configurations are as Followed: /etc/networks metronet 10.0.0 #Class C Not Connect to Inet metromsk 255.255.255.0 #Subneting the network. #But with One machine is it necessary? #No Subnets /etc/hosts 10.0.0.2 localhost metro.mli-vtg.com 10.0.0.10 www.mli-vtg.com 10.0.0.11 ftp.mli-vtg.com #Networks 10.0.0.2 metro.mli-vtg.com metro /etc/sysconfig
