They just don't seem to be aware/care. Tim. Ok, I think I may have found the problem. I googled around for configuring dhcp on RH 9. /etc/sysconfig/network contains NETWORKING=yes /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 contains DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=yes So, apparently his box is configured correctly in that regard. However, having him su to root and issue redhat-config-network shows eth0 not activated. I had him try to activate it with the following results. First, a warning box stating that a module 3c59x was aliased in moduled.conf rather than the loaded CDC class drivers. Then after a bit a box stating that activating eth0 failed, not finding an ip address. I don't understand either of the statements. Is the 3c59x module not the corrrect module to use with the 3c590 card?
