The response is "not found". Remember, I am still in the install. I 
don't have any problems dhcp on any of the other connected boxes, all 
running a version of Win at this time. All receive an IP address 
automatically through dhcp. I tried "ifconfig eth0" again (had to do a 
"<ctrl> <alt> <delete>" to get out of little problem with grep in the 
shell as per my last posting and start the install process one more 
time) and noticed a line with: "Interupt: 11 Base address: 0xe400", but 
everything else is all zeros. I hope this helps, at this point I am 
utterly clueless.

Cheers,

Brian

but you don't have an ip address.  this means your kernel see the device
and configured it, but dhcp isn't coming through.  do you have lines
in /etc/network/interfaces that say something like:
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
?

also, if this is on a private lan, how about statically assigning
an ip address to your card[1]?  this problem might be signs of a
completely different problem (like faulty cable or connecter or card),
or it might just be dhcp being flaky for some reason.
