sorry 'bout the way i strung the thread thru

i think john is on the right track --
first, you have know if your nic card is installed.
i only have questions at this point, matt. sorry.
did you configure redhat to be a network box when you set it up?
was the nic card installed in the box when you installed red hat?
or do you have to run a module to find the nic and get it going?

when you run the command 'ifconfig', what do you see?

ok,
bert
