I really have to apologize for the dearth of information, but once I added
the '127.0.0.1 localhost' line to /etc/hosts and postfix started working,
there have been no error messages to tell me what's going wrong. The
computer just won't access the internet, period.
That is, I have a feeling the network itself is ok, because I can ping both
boxes from each other (RH9 <=> W2K) with no packet loss.
ifconfig -a produces the following:
eth0

If you can think of anything else (conf files, logs, etc.) that would be
useful, let me know, and I will post them.
Thanks.
