DCHP, Router, DSL, redhat9 problem.

[Jen]

Hi there, 

I've been having an annoying problem with my defualt installation of redhat
9. I origianlly had Mandrake on my machine and decided to try Redhat out,
which I installed with no problem. I choose DHCP during installation to
configure my NIC as I have DSL pumped in through a Linksys Router. However,
During boot, I receive a message that my NIC is down and I cannot ping or
configure the NIC through Internet Config manager when the nic is set to
DHCP. However, if I give the NIC a static IP address of 10.0.0.1, the NIC
will report as UP during boot, however, I still cannot reach the internet. 

So basically:

*Wireless Router is set to be a DHC server
*NIC w/DHCP - doesn't initialize during boot and can't get to the internet.
*NIC with 10.0.01 Will initialize, but still can't get to the internet.
*If I install another Linux version such as Mandrake, the defualt works
perfectly, so I do not think this is a NIC or Router Problem.

I believe that pings don't work with either configuration - I will have to
double check on this though.

Any and all ideas are welcome, 

Thank you, 

Jen
