Umm, all I had to do was type 'netconf', make my changes (DHCP, host name,
card module, blanked out netmask), confirm the changes, and restart the
network with /etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart. Then, ifconfig to make sure
it took, start browsing the web. The nice thing is, this network card would
lock Mandrake 7.2 up every time it was inserted, but RH 7.1 works it like a
champ!

Hi.  Getting Roadrunner to work with linux is as easy as setting up your
network card.  (you did set up your card during the install right?)  I am
not
sure which distro you are using but you might try giving the command "ifup
eth0" at the root prompt, then check it with the "ifconfig" command.  If it
dhcp'ed you will get a normal ip address (ie 65.137.62.128)  that is all
there
is to it.  If you are using RH7.1  then you are on your own, it seems they
have
changed all of the terminal commands... (grumbles something about going back
to
debian)
