I changed the irq ,but using /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart gives the following error :
route:netmask doesn't match route address
SIOCADDRT:Invalid configuration
SIOCADDRT:Network is unreachable
SIOCADDRT:Network is unreachable
I think that the error report that netmask doesn't match route address holds the key.
But what is meant by NETMASK? And how do I know the correct netmask? Please guide me.
