Hello,
I have resolved my initial network problems only to discover another..Heres background..My cablemodem/ethernet card worked when initally installed, but when my isp(tampabay.rr.com)
changed address numbers I lost my use of netscape..If I re-entered new numbers it works again..I discovered that instead of the DHCP server, I had it set to Manual or static settings..I
tried to configure DHCP similar to this web page for dynamic selection.. http://www.inform.umd.edu/CampusInfo/Departments/RES/virtualsetup/Linux/linux_dorm.html

After setting it up like it shows when I reboot the computer
it fails to load the ethernet card properly and gives the message(bringing up interface eth0 Can't find DHCP client)
I suspect that the server for DHCP did not get installed..
How can I check for it and then install it if it's not there..MDK 7.1 distro..Any helpful information is welcomed but Please not too heavy, as this is new to me..TIA...
JP

Got It!!
Another forum told me how to check for and install the dhcpcd server..That fixed the problem..
as root.. rpm -q dhcpcd to check for the server,and install it from the cdrom by,
urpmi dhcpcd ...JP
