Scot, 

Thanks for the response,

I expect to be getting my DNS/DHCP info from my ISP.  For 
some reason this is not happening.  This is happening with 
both ppp0 and eth0, both of which interface with different 
ISP's.  I believe there must be some problem with some 
configuration file on my end, but don't know where to look.

[code]
[root at eunix root]# service network restart
Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:                                [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
[root at eunix root]#
[/code]
Doing this seems to make no difference.

The same hardware works properly if I boot to FC3, it's 
just when I boot this dual boot computer that I have this 
trouble.

Thanks again for the suggestions.  Any other ideas?
