<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I just purchased "Red Hat Linux 9 for Dummies" and
everything went fine until I tried to setup the network. I followed the book to
the letter but nothing happens. I have the following NIC and other hardware as
follows:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1 - NIC = Realteck RTL8139C PCI Fast Ethernet
Adapter</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2 - Video = 3DFX VooDoo3</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3 - Modem = Agere Systems Pci Soft
Modem</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4 - Sound = Yamaha DS-XG</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Red Hat 9 and KDE/Gnome run fast and I have no
problems except for the network and sound.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unless one would consider not being able to connect
to my DSL service a problem too.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>But I just thought that would be solved when I
solve the network problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(with DSL I don't use my "snail"
modem)</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
