I don't know what to say... I reinstalled, again, and paid extremely close attention to the networking info I was plugging in. When it rebooted after the install, I got the same result - unable to ping anything other than myself. So, I re-re-reinstalled, this time botting from the install floppy versus the CD, went through all the same steps, entered in all the same info. Rebooted...VOILA! Network, ahoy! Is this a bug, with regard to the hardware I am using? Anyone ever heard of this??? Anyway, BIG thanks to all of you who were so patient with me, and sent in your suggestions! -- PLEASE read the Red Hat FAQ, Tips, Errata and the MAILING LIST ARCHIVES! http://www.redhat.com/RedHat-FAQ /RedHat-Errata /RedHat-Tips /mailing-lists To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject.
