have a windows network connected to the internet with roadrunner to a netgear router to a hub and dynamic ip. (No problem)
Installed linux on a dell box 2 nic cards.
eth0 external to cisco router to roadrunner and a static ip for ftp server (still no problem)
2nd card linux box to netgear router(same one as win network) (set to obtain dynamic IP)(want to be able to grab stuff from win network and move it to the linux box)am not recieving ip offer from netgear box.
how do i get the linux box with ftp server to talk to my win network????
if i'm not mistaken Netgear Routers use DHCP for IP assignments to their clients... so i'd check to make sure that you have DHCP enabled for the client ... the daemon should show up in 'ps aux' or top as dhcpcd and that should be the daemon that's looking to obtain the IP address for your NIC

dhcp enabled but linux nic not accepting ip's
from the router.
Thanks for the response
hmmm... kind of odd that the NIC isn't accepting the IP assignments... what do you get when you do 'ifconfig' ? does it show ethX (whichever eth your NIC is on) as having an IP assigned?

well lets see,have now installed an old is a card to get away from the old onboard nic. does not detect anything but the nic to the cisco box. i get in and out to the internet on linux, but cannot get to any other machine directly or through the netgear router.

Your ISA NIC will probably need to be set up appropriately via a setup program - usually only available for DOS. Check the manufacturer's web site, and you should find the program. Then do an insmod with the appropriate module for your NIC, and make sure to pass the I/O and IRQ you set up with the dos program.
