Troubleshoot no IP address at boot

Sometimes when you deploy MindTouch or restart it you will not receive an IP address at the end of boot, instead it will just show http://

There are a couple of things you can check:

1. Verify that you have DHCP on your network.  If you don't then you need to assign a static IP to it.
2.  Login into the console and run ifconfig, this will come up with a couple of entries.  The first entry is typically eth0.  To the right of eth0 you'll see on the second line an entry starting off inet addr and then there will be an IP address(see Screenshot) That IP address should get you to your wiki
3. Verify that you have network access to MindTouch by pinging it from your host box or from the Mindtouch console pinging google.com

These steps will rule out any issues with the software in regards to not grabbing an IP.  If these steps don't make a difference then there may be som custom configuration on your network that either doesn't allow multiple MAC addresses or some way blocking it via a firewall.
